They just use Pb in the injection.

Even prisons here have death by lethal injection. Clue: AIDS/bestiality.

The US uses three compounds for LI executions. A barbiturate, a muscle relaxant, and the final one - the "active ingredient" in the process, Potassium Chloride.

Thars bestiality? Resulting in death? In British prisons?

Mad Con Disease?

Seriously... what's up with that?

Well I hope at the very least that the state of Utah has respect for historical precedent and uses either the 7.62x54 or 7.92x57 cartridge for this task.

imo death sentance is no good...

letting the idiot beeing gang raped for the rest of his life is better....

And if he/she is found to be innocent afterwords he/she has a second chanse.

If I am ever to be executed I would also choose the firing squad.

Yeah, that would be the best way to go, execution wise. I want to die in my sleep. That would be a peaceful way to go...naturally.

I saw a program on TV about the history of executions in the US. Apparently, the problem with firing squads is that the shooters don't really want to kill anyone and aim to wound rather than kill. They think that the others will make the fatal shot, but none do. The condemned can survive several attempts. When this happens, it really does become cruel and unusual.

One of the five rifles will contain a blank so that no one will know who fired the fatal shots.

...can we say recoil?

Saw the same thing. Jesus that would suck, but it was/is entirely possible, if the deed was bad enough, that they would intentionally shoot the legs,arms,etc to prolong the inmates death. That's the only bad thing about the firing squad. It would probably be the way I'd go out if I had the choice.

Most blanks produce recoil.
