The Utah Dept. of Corrections has previously told FOX 13 it does not have the chemicals necessary to carry out a lethal injection execution, so firing squad becomes the default method.Just view it as a different method for lethal injection.

death by copper jacketed lead poisoning...works for me. I think Utah may be only state that still uses firing squad..much more sure than the three drug cocktail

Okay, then. The firing squad shouldn’t shoot him in the head. Aim for the chest instead.

Utah should allow law abiding citizens the chance to bid for a spot on the firing squad.

In a hearing before the Utah Supreme Court on Wednesday, attorneys for Michael Anthony Archuleta argued that he is intellectually disabled. What? Ok. We agree. Now "Ready! Aim!....."

If I found myself in a position to have to choose between methods of execution, I would choose firing squad. It’s fast, effective, and has an air of nobility about it that lethal injection does not have.
Viva Christo Rey!

Same here. I would fear the injection method because you could get a nasty infection from it.
To: dirtboy
The drug is called HVL - High Velocity Lead - and it is typically injected straight in to the heart.

Also, I might finally try smoking! That goes well with firing squads.

This is what Michael Anthony Archuleta and his partner in crime did to their 28 year old victim:
“The 28-year-old Southern Utah University student was taken by two recent parolees to a remote location in Millard County, where the men attached jumper cables to his testicles, used the car battery to shock him and then sodomized Church with a tire iron to the extent that his liver was pierced. They then beat Church to death with a car jack before burying him in a shallow grave.”
Archuleta is intellectually disabled. And morally disabled. And because of it, he deserves to be shot to death.
