And two on the lethal injection gurney, a deceptively unpleasant way to die вЂ“ else why would the second injection be a paralytic agent to prevent the witnesses from watching a man in agony in front of them? вЂњTwo died in the electric chair, with 2,400 volts of electricity running from the skull to the ankle, the most overtly savage way imaginable to kill someone.
