WACO, Texas (AP) -- A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted

while standing in water, a church employee said.


Doesn't sound right. The juice to drive a microphone is in the low DC
voltage value and runs on milliamps. Its even weaker than the current
that drives the big speakers. Water or no water I have never come
across anyone being zapped by a frayed microphone wire let alone
suffer injury by one.

If there was a fault/leakage in the amp that connected the AC line to
the chassis then the mic was hot. Water and electricity don't mix.

Whatever the reason, apparently his god failed him.
