old sparky
Old Sparky is the nickname of the electric chairs in Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Old Smokey was the nickname of the electric chairs used in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Famous Electric Chairs Used in Executions )〕
"Old Sparky" is sometimes used to refer to electric chairs in general, and not one of a specific state.
==Connecticut==
Connecticut legislated lethal injection as its sole method of execution in 1995.〔(Connecticut Death Penalty Laws )〕 The last person executed by electrocution was Joseph "Mad Dog" Taborsky in May, 1960.〔(Tales of North Haven’s ‘high crimes’ captivate- The New Haven Register - Serving New Haven, Connecticut )〕 Connecticut's "Old Sparky" has not been tested since it was moved from Wethersfield to the Northern Correctional Institution in Somers in 1962, and prison officials claim the prison's electrical system cannot handle it.〔(Execution Would Be The First Since 1960 - New York Times )〕
