State government proposes reinstating shooting as ‘fastest, surest and surest’ method of execution
Legislators in Idaho have brought back the time-honored execution method for death row inmates in their state, and one legal scholar agrees it’s the right move.
Modern society may consider method as archaic, but its effectiveness cannot be denied.
Several shooters line up and point their rifles at a monster that has long proven that he or she has nothing to do among civilized people. Triggers are pressed and it ends pretty quickly. It may be bloody, but it works—unlike lethal injections, which have proven unreliable in recent years.
Problems with convicted murderers continue in Alabama survivor his attempts to kill them.
Eight people are currently on death row in Idaho, but the state cannot find drugs killer Gerald Pizzuto Jr., who has received numerous extensions in recent months, needs to be disposed of.
Pizzuto killed two people in cold blood 37 years ago, but continues to eat at taxpayer expense. Mountain Express Idaho said Thursday.
State lawmakers recently drafted what one of them called a veto-proof law that would bring back shooting as an option for convicts if lethal injection not available.
Republican Party spokesman Bruce Skaug said in a statement to CNN Last week, a bill to bring back firing squads will become law whether Republican Gov. Brad Little agrees with it or not.
“H186 has now passed the Idaho Senate and House of Representatives by a veto-protected majority,” Skaug said. “With the governor’s signature, the state is now more likely to be able to deliver justice, as determined by our judiciary, to those who committed first-degree murder.”
Execution by firing squad may soon become legal in Idaho, meaning Brian Kochberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, could be one of the first to face it if found guilty.

During an interview with Fox NewsFordham Law School professor Deborah Denno criticized the “sad state” of the country’s death penalty system as she advocated firing squad.
“Over the past few years, we have had three people who survived execution by lethal injection when they should have died,” Denno said. “And this is after more than two hours of people trying to kill them and the state actually saying, ‘You have to stop.
She told the network that she does not necessarily support the death penalty, describing herself as a “death penalty agnostic”.
“I just think that if we are going to execute people, it should be done in the most humane way possible,” Denno said.
“Shooting is the fastest, most reliable and error-free method, and it is the only method for which we have experienced and trained professionals,” she said.
The professor has studied the death penalty for decades and predicted that many prisoners may prefer firing squad to lethal injection.
Denno pointed to Tennessee, where she said the prisoners preferred to fly zip lines to electric chair since it was restored as an option.
Should firing squad be an acceptable method of capital punishment?
Shooting is a legal method of execution in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Utah, and South Carolina, and is constitutional.
Only Utah has used it in recent decades. From 1976 to 2010 the state executed three convicted murderers are shot.
None of them woke up to ask why they didn’t die.
