A condemned Utah man is set to die by firing squad Friday. The man was sentenced to death in 1985 for the shooting of an attorney in a courthouse. He is currently before a Utah parole board to determine if he will be granted clemency. It does not appear likely that he will be, however, because the last time Utah granted clemency to a condemned man was in 1962.
I chose this article because of our discussion of the death penalty in class. Firing squad is not a usual method of execution, so it caught my eye. The article waswell written and interesting.
