Topic	Electric chair execution last night in Tennesse.
Cocytus 02/21/20 12:18:41 PM #1:	https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/20/us/nick-sutton-execution/index.html Nicholas Sutton, a multiple murderer who was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing a fellow inmate, was executed Thursday night by electric chair at a Tennessee prison. Sutton was pronounced dead at 7:26 p.m. (8:26 p.m. ET), according to a news release from the Tennessee Department of Correction. Sutton was convicted in 1981 of killing three people and sentenced to life in prison, where he killed another prisoner. But, according to his lawyer, Sutton at three different times had saved the lives of corrections officers. Gov. Bill Lee on Wednesday denied Sutton's clemency bid and the US Supreme Court on Thursday denied Sutton's attorney's application for a stay of execution. Nicholas Sutton Sutton, 58, had been on death row since 1985. He was the fifth person to die by electric chair in Tennessee since November 2018. In his final statement, Sutton thanked his wife and God. "I hope I do a much better job in the next life than I did in this one," he said. "If I could leave one thing with all of you, it is, don't ever give up on the ability of Jesus Christ to fix someone or a problem. He can fix anything. Don't ever underestimate His ability. He has made my life meaningful and fruitful through my relationships with family and friends. So, even in my death, I am coming out a winner." Amy Large Cook, whose brother was killed by Sutton, told reporters she didn't know whether she would ever have closure. Her brother "was denied the opportunity to live a full life with a family of his own," she said. "My children were denied meeting a wonderful man who would have spoiled them rotten and loved them with all his heart. He suffered a terrible and horrific death and for that I will never forgive Mr. Sutton." Sutton saved his life, prison guard says Sutton is credited with saving the lives of multiple correction officers, according to the clemency application that defense lawyer Kevin Sharp sent to the governor in January. One of those officers, Tony Eden, says Sutton saved his life during a prison riot in1985. "A group of five inmates, armed with knives and other weapons, surrounded me and attempted to take me hostage. Nick and another inmate confronted them, physically removed me from the situation and escorted me to the safety of the trap gate in another building," Eden, a retired corrections official said in the clemency application. "I owe my life to Nick Sutton." More in article... <cite>Cocytus posted [p:934686987] in Electric c...
