Indiana lawmaker renews push for firing squad executions
An Indiana lawmaker wants to make firing squads the state’s primary method of execution.
Republican State Representative Jim Lucas plans to bring back legislation that narrowly failed earlier this year.
Lucas argues firing squads would provide a quicker and more humane alternative to lethal injection.
However, fellow Republican Bob Morris is taking the opposite approach, proposing legislation to eliminate Indiana’s death penalty altogether.
Five states currently authorize firing squads, but only Idaho makes them the primary execution method.
