Utah murderer executed by firing squad

The U.S. Supreme Court and other courts refused to stay the execution by firing squad, and now it's over. Many Europeans are screaming in outrage. The linked article provides an eye-witness account of the execution LINK (I am not a big fan of the death penalty. IMHO the range of offenses and offenders eligible needs to be limited to the unusually culpable. Changes must be made to insure better attorneys for defendants. More safeguards are necessary to see that innocent persons are not executed. Although there are lots of problems in the system, I'm not quite ready to become an abolitionist.)
