Idaho becomes first state to prefer death by firing squad for executions

Idaho governor Brad Little Signed his name on a law on Wednesday and made Idaho the only state in the United States, which from next year was called the preferred execution method for the death penalty of capital punishment.

The governor campaign takes less than a week after Brad Sigmon (67) from South Carolina. was executed as a firing cadre who killed his ex-girlfriend’s parents in 2001 with a baseball bat.

Sigmon was declared dead last Friday almost three minutes after the shot of three voluntary prison employees – a method that was used in the USA for the first time in 15 years

Idaho’s statesman reported that Idaho has nine prisoners in the death cell, although the death penalty has not been carried out in the state for over a dozen years.

The pursuit sheet of the draft law shows that over two thirds of the legislator controlled by Republicans supported the measure, which, in addition to the death of the preferred method together with death, also kept the fatal injection as the backup method of the state.

Fox News Digital has turned to Little’s Office to get a statement on this matter.

Little approved a law in 2023 in order to add the execution by the state’s shot as a backup execution method of the state, although he said at the time that his preferred method was the fatal injection.

Idaho then became the fifth state of the country, which legalized the practice according to Utah, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Mississippi.

This time Bill Sponsor Rep. Bruce Skaug, who previously pushed for laws that restored the firing squad as a backup option for the deadly injection, argues that the botched fatal injection of Creech emphasizes problems with this method last year.
