What if scenario:There is somebody who is a really hated war-criminal and is given the death penalty. He is put in the electric chair, and afterwars he is declared dead by the doctors, so he is officially dead. However, he is actually still alive, and is only thought to be dead. A few minutes later, he wakes up.
He has already sufferred his legally determined punishment, so would he have to be released?Would the judge rule that he has already had his sentance carried out, so there is nothing that anyone else can do to him??

His sentence would have been the death penilty ...... and that could have been the chair or from injection .... either way, he's meant to be put to death ..... if he's still alive ...... he's suppose to be dead ...... do it again and kill him properly this time!!

That's a bit... morbid

the people prob wouldn't tell the public and just shock his ass again!
To clarify..
First if you survive the first shock in the electric chair then you must be shocked until the specified sentence specifications are met. there has been a few people to survive the electric chair and some thought to have first..
"At least five have gone awry since 1983. A particularly appalling instance of this took place on the 4th of May, 1990, in the case of Jesse Joseph Tafero in Florida. According to witnesses, when the executioner flipped the switch, flames and smoke came out of Tafero's head, which was covered by a mask and cap. Twelve-inch blue and orange flames sprouted from both sides of the mask. The power was stopped, and Tafero took several deep breaths. The superintendent ordered the executioner to halt the current, then try it again. And again.
Apparently a synthetic sponge, soaked in brine, had been substituted for the natural one applied to Tafero's head. This reduced the flow of electricity to as little as one hundred volts, and ended up torturing the prisoner to death. According to the state prison medical director, Frank Kligo, who attended, it was "less than aesthetically attractive."
!~this is a long paragraph so I chopped it up.~!

"Yet another electrocution in Florida seemed to be botched in 1999 when Allen Lee "Tiny" Davis was executed for murder on the 9th of July.
Blood appeared to ooze from Davis' nose and mouth as he was hit with 2,300 volts at 7:10 a.m. But the governor's office said it was simply a nosebleed. The official photographs of the execution seem to bear this out.
By the time Davis was pronounced dead five minutes later, there was blood on the collar of his white shirt, and the blood on his chest had spread to about the size of a dinner plate, even oozing through the buckle holes on the leather chest strap holding him to the chair."
It was later found that the nose-bleed was due to davis's high blood pressure from reports from the autopsy.
there has been alot of people to survive the chair but they still must be dead as dirt for the sentence to be carried out fully.

[disregarding any posts of similar replies-so as to not to condem me of my reiteration]
The death penalty is a law in which the convicted is to be dead. In no way shape or form is the person allowed to "live" for lack of the better words. If the said convict did show "dead" vital signs, and thus said to be dead, but later awoke, than he did not carry out his sentence, and would require to perform it again. Several queations can than arise from your given scenarios:
"Were the doctors certified?"
"Was the form of execution followed through proporly?"
One can not be dead for a few moments and live. Dead is dead. The death penalty is the lack of life there of. You can't be alive if your dead. Therefore the person must experience the death penalty until he or she is said dead.
*This is a belief in regards to the scenario, and should not be taken directly as my beliefs. Disregarding this statement and proving it as obvious evidence, will be voided and be assumed "not presented".
