Lawmaker Proposes ‘Hanging on a Tree’ as Execution Method
"The House Criminal Justice Committee of the Tennessee legislature was discussing a bill to add the firing squad to electrocution and lethal injection as the state’s death penalty options when Rep. Sherrell suggested one more.
“Could I put an amendment on that that would include hanging on a tree, also?” he inquired during Tuesday’s proceedings.
Sherrell paused and sat with his hands folded before him, the fingers interlaced. His mouth briefly closed and his cheek registered a swirl of his tongue, as if he were savoring the moment.
Among the other committee members who can be seen in a video of the proceedings is Rep. Joe Towns Jr., a Democrat from Nashville. He could not be reached by The Daily Beast afterward, but his clearly horrified expression said it all."
