Poll: Should Murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner Face Utah Firing Squad?

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) A Utah firing squad is waiting for murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner.

Barring the success of any last-minute appeals, his execution will be carried out shortly after 12:01 a.m. Friday.

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

Gardner chose firing squad as the means of his death.

If executed, Gardner will become the first person to be put to death by firing squad in the United States in 14 years.

What do you think about this unusual form of execution?
