How Idaho Reinstated The Firing Squad

From the archives: 2-27-23





Execution by firing squad is a method of capital punishment in which a group of trained shooters simultaneously fire their weapons at the individual being executed. Historically, this method was used by many countries, but today it is only used in a handful of places.The process typically involves binding the condemned individual to a post or chair and placing a target over their heart. A group of shooters, usually between three and twelve individuals, then take aim and fire simultaneously. The goal is to ensure a quick and relatively painless death.



In this episode, we take a look at the new bill that was proposed by a lawmaker in Idaho that would see the firing squad brought back and what that means for Bryan Kohberger.
