Horror Show
Woody and Jim into the history of the electric chair, discussing various executions that took place in the past. William Kemmler's execution in New York in 1890 marked the first time the electric chair was used, aiming to replace the gruesome public hangings of the time. The podcast highlights the mishaps that occurred during electrocutions, such as William Taylor's legs ripping off during the process. It also explores how Louisiana transitioned from hangings to using the electric chair in 1940 and eventually to lethal injection in 1991.Additionally, we want to acknowledge the support of Lori Johnson, a Louisiana community figure participating in a fundraising event for the Big Buddy Program. If you would like contribute to the cause and show support for Lori, we provide her specific link below.https://dancingforbigbuddy.com/dancer/lori-johnson/?fbclid=IwAR0aHVAqaX_u_kCMjAn4mw_7E1eY5MXNUifV8mpKfHEdkT2VCmbJaEtHgigTimestamps0:03:57 The History of the Electric Chair0:06:49 Public Executions and the Shift to Electric Chair0:14:19 Transition to Electric Chair in Louisiana0:15:31 Introduction of Portable Electric Chair in Louisiana0:19:44 Increase in Louisiana Executions via Electric Chair0:28:05 History of Executioners in the US and Bloody Angola0:29:30 Exploring Alternate Forms of Execution0:33:11 Reflections on the Justice System and Executions0:35:22 Shout-Out to Lori Johnson's Fundraiser0:37:24 Wrapping Up and Rodeo Plans
