This is correct...I believe only one shooter has live ammo but like you said they don't know which one to sort of protect the members of the firing squad from carrying residual guilt of being the "killer".

It's actually painless. if administered wrong then there will be pain.
three drugs are used in the process.
1) Sodium thiopental - anesthesia
2) Pancuronioum bromide -paralyzing drug
3) Potassium chloride - causes cardiac arrest
Im thinking guy said #!+% it im gonna die anyway, might as well go out big.
what you're saying is he wants to "GO OUT WITH A BANG"

Yeah, in the book "Complications" by Atul Gawande, there is a very interesting chapter dedicated to a discussion about lethal injections. It is torture and while death usually follows in the thirty minutes after the shot is administered, there have been times when the shot has been administered several times, and the person is still alive.Originally Posted by Al Audi
lethal injection is very painful..........from what i understand its actually torture before death

I'd rather the lethal injection...
I'd just close my eyes, and let that stuff run through my body...

I think this lethal injection stuff is a load of bologna. How do these scientist know it's painless. The only people who know what it's truly like are the ones who've experienced it, and it's not like they're still around for us to ask them how it went.
The firing squad was what the dude opted for. Let em have it. Personally, I'd ask em to aim for the head... straight kill shot. Those people still feel it for a few seconds before they slip off into the wild blue yonder.

There are ways of measuring how much pain a body is in. I'm sure they've done tests. In fact, I always had the thought that they breed humans somewhere in some hidden lab specifically to run these types of tests(and any other experiments your brain can think of...) on.

It'd be a crime if I didn't use a bit of my education in this thread...
In Florida, they use the electric chair: The "executioner" is an anonymous citizen, hired by the DOCorrections, is paid ~$150 per execution and can they last as long as 2 mins.
12 volunteer citizens and 12 media representatives are the witnesses in the viewing room. Can't remember if family is allowed tho.
In Utah, there's no formal selection process... It's usually done by 5 officers with a mix of blanks & live ammo, all fire concentrating on the torso area.
Utah has been known to seek volunteers for their firing squads though.
