First, there are 2 levers that are pulled to commit the electrocution. One is the actual switch releasing the electricity and the other is a "dummy" switch that does nothing. The 2 people pulling the levers don't know which one is "live" and which one isn't. That way, neither doesn't know who actually causing the electrocution. Don't worry about the Catholics, just drop a few extra bucks in the plate and you're good to go.
The Catholic Church teaches that any deliberate killing of an innocent life is murder.
The Catholic Church considers euthanasia, as well as abortion, a form of murder and it is not permitted. Only God can end a life.

No, a Texas jury found him not guilty of murder.
They were all the same. Murder, rapes, explotiation, just like today's Catholic church. Repugnant, everything bad they did was and is in the name of religion.

Murder is a grave (mortal) sin. It is also a natural law: all men and women everywhere know it is wrong, morally. The sin is forgivable just like almost all others, and requires the Christian to make a good confession. Murder can take any form, but not all killing of human life is murder. Anyone who kills a human as the last extreme measure in order to save the life of another human (including him or herself) is not committing murder but rather preserving life. In fact, in this case, there is no sin committed.
Yes. Although the jury does not actually find you "not guilty" of Murder 2, they just return a guilty verdict on the lesser offense. Manslaughter is a lesser offense than Murder in the 2nd Degree, and a jury could take this option.
The Catholic Church, and more specifically the Church in Rome, never tried to murder Galileo. Galileo was a personal friend of the Pope, at that time, and, although he was tried for heresy, and told to stop teaching his theory as fact, as he had no proof, he was certainly never murdered.
