Idaho Governor Approves Firing Squad as Execution Method.
Idaho Governor Brad Little has signed a bill into law that makes firing squad a method of execution for inmates on death row. The state had previously allowed lethal injection and electrocution as methods of execution, but the new law adds firing squad as an option if the other methods are unavailable. The move comes as states across the US are grappling with the ethics and practicalities of capital punishment.
