Tennessee executes double murderer by electrocution

Edmund Zagorski, who had requested that the state not use lethal injection, was pronounced dead at 7:36 p.m. at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, the Tennessee Department of Correction said in a statement. Zagorski, who killed two men in 1983 who were carrying a large amount of cash in order to buy 100 pounds of marijuana, is the first U.S. inmate executed by electrocution since 2013.
