crabbylion Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) DRAPER, Utah – A death row inmate who had used a gun to fatally shoot two men suffered the same fate Friday morning as he was executed by a team of marksmen — the first time Utah used the firing squad to carry out a death sentence in 14 years. A barrage of bullets tore into... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100618/ap_on_re_us/us_utah_firing_squad The state of Utah takes it back to the ol' school with putting this man to rest. Not after spending new school tax dollars to do it, though. Edited June 18, 2010 by crabbylion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Pretty smart of them to load one of the rifles with a blank so no one knows who killed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 He chose to go that way. He had options of lethal injection or firing squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm almost 100% sure I read a story that there was once a man who was on death row, and then for his death sentence went in front of a firing squad, and they hit him a bunch of times, but he survived with a disfigured face, and they let him off death row and free.

NomarFachix Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Yeah, anyone whose crime was committed before 2004 gets the choice, pretty sure in 2004 they changed away from the firing squad. The hollow shells thing is funny though, I'd just assume it was always me who killed him, that wouldn't help much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
