That two-hour execution the other day has always-outspoken Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski saying, well, you want quick executions with little chance of prolonged pain, you should bring back firing squads. And it turns out that Oklahoma and Utah have indeed authorized firing squads if other methods are ruled unconstitutional, and Utah allows it if you were convicted and picked death by firing squad as your departure of choice before May 3, 2004. You'd have to assume the squads would accurately hit their targets, of course -- if the bullets don't nail the brain right away, you can imagine the pain and suffering. So, back to the old way? How about a hot squat on Old Sparky? The guillotine? (KGO/San Francisco)
