They showed one back in the day, for some reason it sticks in my head. You'd think it would have been the most painful but they showed you died almost instantly. Strap you backwards to a giant wooden sphere and roll you down a rocky hill.
http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/home is very interesting. I believe there is still a state or two where you can still choose hanging or firing squad if convicted before a certian date.
Another really interesting one... Washington State V Rupe, along with something about polygraph test evidence but also he was sentenced to deah and at the time it was by hanging. He was a big ol man and said his 8th amendment rights would be violated as with his body weight, hanging would decapitate him and that would be cruel and unusual. He was granted a resentencing and escaped the death penalty.
Oh it is such a facinating topic. I'm rambling. I don't have a damn thing to debate.
