"AP - 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."

It's about time. Finally, a state gov't that's being fiscally responsible.

shouldn't use marksmen, target practice would be better.

I say that they should give the surviving family members the option of pulling the trigger, even if they can't shoot. Heck, it'd be even better if they were lousy shots. That way the SOB would have to suffer until they run out of ammo.

There's one killer for whom the death penalty IS a deterrent! He won't do it again!
