Electric chair builder worried Tennessee execution will fail

[@ElusiveMasquerade]

Fred is a very smart and honest man. He knows how death machines work and can point out a flaw from 6 million miles away.

[@MrNWA4Life]

Well Fred, it seems to work fine.

[@Mr.paint123]

It worked again tonight

[@MontgomeryMall]

The Tennessee electric chair functioned exactly as designed for the fourth time tonight, December 5th, 2019, on inmate Lee Hall.

[@Lane8492]

And now the next one to go to the Tennessee electric chair will be Nicholas Todd Sutton on February 20th.

[@ziggybammurphy191]

This chair performs flawlessly every-time its used, because it was engineered correctly....one factor being, this chair uses 2 leg electrodes instead of one, ensuring a more even flow of current...

[@missaleromanum5614]

Why are they just casually interviewing Fred Leuchter

[@mattmccallum2007]

Why not?

[@macusaurelius1313]

"No signs of torture". Haha, yeah because we have all those first hand accounts. And as all are done at a .... wait for it .."Correctional Facility"

[@petermacander5039]

THEY NEED TO USE THE ELECTRIC CHAIR MORE OFTEN SO THEY'RE SURE IT WORKS RIGHT!

[@Lane8492]

So far 6 have executed in Tennessee's electric chair whom were Daryl Keith Holton in 2007, Edmund George Zagorski in 2018, Stephen Michael West and Leroy Hall Jr. in 2019, and Nicholas Todd Suttion this year and one other who got his execution stayed until December 31st of this, Harold Wayne Nichols.

The chair is tried and trusted by many !!!

[@smartyjones7459]

sounds like sour grapes...

[@eddiejohnson5183]

I guess it's a matter of, "do you feel lucky punk".

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

So how much did the autopsy cost after all this wasted f'''''''' money

[@Lane8492]

5 executions have taken place in Tennessee's electric chair of Daryl Keith Holton in 2007, Edmund George Zagorski and David Earl Miller in 2018, and Stephen Michael West and Leroy Hall Jr in 2019 without any problems and now on February 20th of this year Nicholas Todd Sutton since he has opted for the electric chair. How much more should we listen to Fred Leuchter being that he did all of this work without a license.

[@XxXXxxXXxx78]

Omg without a license? It's not like people can read and learn on their own. Ok, karen?

[@jluve3314]

He looked scary

[@donowens5883]

This is why the electric chair is tested?

[@scottcharney1091]

Yes, that's why.

[@MontgomeryMall]

Don't pay attention to the claims of Fred Leuchter. He is NOT an engineer and has not been involved with the operations of the chair in twenty-five years. The electrical system designed by Leuchter was found to be flawed. It was determined through testing by a real electrical engineer that it was only capable of delivering voltage at 4 amps. This system was renovated by the real electrical engineer to deliver 1,750 volts at 7.5 amps, which would be lethal. Both Daryl Holton and Edmund Zagorski were cleanly executed by this chair.

[@randymarsh6253]

0.5A is fatal and 4A would definitely do you in. 7.5A is really overkill. Not that overkill is a bad thing

[@randymarsh6253]

Leutcher is a scam artist. Not that he did bad work, but he basically scammed the states to come test equipment and update it as his warranty expired under the threat he’d make for a expert witness when death row inmates sued over the constitutionality of the state’s method. Basically would come around every so often and extort the state out of some money.

[@MontgomeryMall]

@@randymarsh6253 Yes, the antics of Leuchter caught the attention of assistant attorney general Ed Carnes of Alabama. Carnes headed the state capital litigation unit at that time. In July, 1990, Carnes authored and distributed a memo to all of the other states practicing capital punishment warning them not to deal with Fred Leuchter because of his shakedown scheme. Leuchter's business in capital punishment systems soon dried up afterwards.

[@Lane8492]

David Earl Miller will be next to go in that electric chair. Next year, Donnie Edward Johnson will follow since he said will go with the electric chair.

[@randymarsh6253]

Montgomery Mall pretty slick little racket. Bold. It had to take a lot of nuts to extort an arm of the state’s executive branch like that. Especially without any backing. It’s a miracle that he didn’t find himself in prison. To be fair I don’t think any botched executions came from his equipment. But who knows. I’m not particularly for the death penalty honestly. It’s just a burden on taxpayers. Here in Tennessee the most common cause of death for condemned inmates is natural causes so why even bother. I don’t have sympathy for killers but and would love to see them executed on the courthouse lawn, but I live in the real world where that’s not fixing to happen. In the real world they get so many appeals that they can almost keep their case in litigation until they die of old age.

[@daisukihafid9168]

Unresponsiblity - why could this happen from a selfnamed designer

[@kennydunk]

I need only 20 percent of the chair to work. Time under the current it will work he wont ake it lmao

[@donowens5883]

Well yeah well yeah so if there's a 10-day stay they better do a little bit better investigation go through all the parts before execution make sure the electric chair is working make sure the sponges are real not synthetic prevent higher fire hazards and make sure that things have gone through according to plan for the next execution of a deathrowp inmate

[@sp00f34]

it's the best way

[@corineusa1454]

He should refund the money he was paid or litigated for it. The state can get a new one. What a turd.

Fred Leuchter was shut down because he did all of this without a license as well.

[@XxXXxxXXxx78]

It's Karen again.

[@Lane8492]

And another thing, I’m pro death penalty

[@richardkallio3868]

The real reason Leuchter was shut down was that he foolishly agreed to testify on behalf of notorious Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel. He (Leuchter) travelled to Auschwitz and, following some dodgy sampling and even dodgier analysis of those samples, concluded that there could have been no gas chambers in that concentration camp. Following the understandable outrage that ensued, investigators proved deeper into Leuchter’s background and found that he was practising engineering without an engineering degree or a license.

[@TheBatugan77]

They should slip strichnyne into the bastard's last meal.

[@daveinmilwaukee]

This reporter's continuous mispronunciation of Mr. Leuchter's name is really annoying. If he had bothered to watch even a minute or two of the same film that he shows an excerpt from, he would know that the name is pronounced "LOYK-ter" not "LOO-cher." This shows really poor preparation and lack of professionalism. Even worse, the reporter shows a complete lack of journalistic responsbility by giving Mr. Leuchter a public forum to state an opinion on ANYTHING. Again, if the reporter had bothered to do even a minimum of research, such as simply watching the film that he cites, he would know that Mr. Leuchter is neither a scientist, nor an engineer, nor an authority on anything, and that he was thoroughly exposed, discredited, and disgraced years ago. Nothing Mr. Leuchter thinks or says is even minimally newsworthy, and hasn't been for a long time.

@@cross8215 its a lot to learn but in the case of fred, he was right in his assessment that the facilities were inequipt to substantiate the official claims, this is mainly due to lack of gas extraction systems, no explosion proof lighting, and the general shoby build of the so called execution rooms. its all a war propaganda ploy to demonize their decision to kick the chosen peoples out of control. now we are dealing with them ruining the planet to day.
