Electric Chair Executions Banned - Tasers Still Okay

From the New York Times, "The electric chair is cruel and unusual punishment, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday. The decision effectively suspended executions there, as Nebraska is the only state that still relies solely on electrocution, which was once the dominant form of execution in the United States. 'The evidence here shows that electrocution inflicts intense pain and agonizing suffering,' Justice William M. Connolly wrote for the majority in a 6-to-1 decision."

I wonder who was the one judge who voted against it and why? So maybe we are slowly moving out of the stone age in how we treat each other? Or just invent new "painless" ways to do each other in? And also, from what I've read, getting Tased by those portable electro-shock machines carried by police inflicts intense pain and agonizing suffering.
