It seems that last night (9/23/98) Virginia executed yet another prisoner, and for the first time in four years, the electric chair was used (at the request of the prisoner). One of the media witnesses, a Terry Scanlon of the Lynchburg News & Observer, talking about the prisoner in his last moments, is quoted as saying that the condemned "...didn't show any resistance." -- Selected by Jim Griffith.
