Well more like the artifact absorbed Becker's agony from the botched execution. So it became an artifact after the fact. There's a theory after the fact that Becker was indeed innocent and acted in self defense but Rose and other actual dirty cops made Becker an example. There's a possibility that someone sabotaged the electric chair.
