SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah is scheduled to execute a convicted killer by firing squad on June 18 after a judge signed a warrant for his execution.

State court Judge Robin Reese signed the warrant Friday morning in a Salt Lake City courtroom.

Ronnie Lee Gardner has been on Utah's death row for 25 years. After Reese said Gardner's avenues for appeal are exhausted and that he would sign the warrant, Gardner said "I would like the firing squad, please."

The 49-year-old Gardner would be the first death row inmate executed in Utah since Joseph Mitchell Parsons died by lethal injection in 1999.

Gardner was sentenced to death in 1985 for the Salt Lake City courthouse slaying of attorney Michael Burdell during a failed escape attempt.

Gardner's attorney says an appeal is planned.

straight savage man. f**k 25 years of death row, he owes the system the 5 cents its gonna cost to put a bullet through his brain. as far as people shocked we still have it, in the military its still used, the crazy one is the hanging, that shits rough if you ask me.

If you are going to be put to death, why not choose how you go??

But on the other hand, he's be on death row for 25 years. I think after that long they should almost just let him live wihtout parole until he dies.

 

[hooked_on4]

They should just f**king drown people.

It's free and fun, and you can reuse the water, it's green

f**k that! I think if you ask taxpayers which they prefer to pay for the answer you will get is "The f**king bullets!"

some states still have the older laws in effect. Although seeing as it isn't very humane, they usually don't follow them too closely.

Because they didn't ask the person they killed how they wanted to die.

Humane? f**k humane. They don't deserve humane for the s**t they did to get onto death row. It can be humane. Put it straight through their head. They won't live.

An eye for an eye.

i would personally like to see a live PPV event with maybe several death row inmates put to death in wacky creative ways.. take the profits and donate them to the families of the victims.. i know I would buy in!

 

[buzzbombtom]

death race!

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

I'd buy that.

 

[iluvpho]

correct me if im wrong but 25 years on death row means shitload of appeals? that s alot of tax payers money

 

[Shiznit]

they still use the electric chair in some states. thats even worse than firing squad or hanging in my opinion.

 

[R3dline]

I say f**k letting them rot in jail ,if u do somthing bad enough to get put on death row ,they should let the family of the victom choose how he dies. Give em 5 doors to choose from ,hang em,shoot em,torture ,raped by a crow bar or just a room full of power tools then let the victoms fam choose and do it them self

 

[el_betiyo]

Ha, firing squad? wow.
f**k it, I would have the victim's closest relatives to be the squad, that's if the wish to be of course.
