Friends---
I pass the following item along....please respond directly to Melonyce if you can be of assistance.... thanks! ********************************************************* I'm researching an article for Slate.com on the history of recording executions in the U.S. and am wondering if you could help answer a couple of questions or point me in the right direction. Do any state or federal corrections departments record executions in the U.S. via video and/or audio? I've heard of audio recordings and came across some of executions years ago in Georgia, but I'm not sure what the modern protocol on this is. I'm sure it varies state by state, but I'm wondering if any audio/video record is kept on each execution other than just having a doctor and witnesses there to verify that it took place. Whatever insight you could provide would be much appreciated. My deadline is tomorrow 1/4 at 4 p.m. Thank you. Melonyce McAfee melonyce.mcafee at slate.com 202-261-1369 Washington DC
