DEATH ROW INMATE MILLER CHOOSES DEATH BY ELECTRIC CHAIR
After asking for several motions, Nashville death row inmate David Earl Miller has chosen electrocution as his way of execution. Miller is sentenced to die next Thursday, Dec. 6. His attorneys say that Miller turned in a slip of paper to officials at Riverbend Maximum Security Prison that simply stated, “I wave lethal injection and wish to be electrocuted.” The inmate, who is charged with the murder of Lee Standifer in 1981, had filed several motions challenging the legality of lethal injection and the electric chair. If everything moves ahead, Miller will become the second death row inmate to die in the electric chair since 2007.
