In South Carolina, where inmates can choose between lethal injection and electrocution, Jason Scott Byram has chosen to be electrocuted by the state Corrections Department on April 23. Byram, 38, was convicted of stabbing 36-year-old Julie Johnson to death. Electrocutions in South Carolina and throughout the country have been rare in recent years. The last inmate to choose to die in the electric chair in this state was Larry Gene Bell in 1996. The last electrocution in the United States was Eric Bramblett on April 9, 2003, in Virginia.
