This week roughly 7 people were scheduled to be executed for capital crimes in various states. There has been concern about the administration of and the actions of lethal drug injection on those scheduled to die.
It has been five years since the last firing squad execution in Utah. Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed June 18, 2010.
The last hanging was for Billy Bailey who was executed by the state of Delaware on January 25, 1996
The last use of the electric chair was on January 16, 2013, when Robert Gleason, Jr. decided to go to the electric chair in Virginia.
Humane applied to both those executed and especially to the victims family.

Seems to Me there is too much concern for the Criminal, what about their Victims ? They didn't have any choices, their lives often are over unless they survived and the impact last a lifetime.

LTC Stephen F. Every method for execution has it's drawbacks. There isn't a humane way, so I say if you have to do it make it the quickest way.
