Nebraska town seeks old idle electric chair

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled last year that the state's use of the electric chair was unconstitutional.

The residents of McCook, Nebraska are asking state officials, you're not doing anything with that old electric chair, are you?

The town of McCook wants to display 'Old Sparky' (pictured) as a tourist attraction now that the electric chair has been ruled unconstitutional.

Fifteen men were executed in ‘Old Sparky’, which is located about 210 miles east of McCook at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln.

The most notable was the execution of Charles Starkweather in 1959. The Starkweather murder spree left 11 people dead in Nebraska and Wyoming.
