| Subject: 'Charming': US politicians consider firing squads if lethal injection drugs scarce following Dennis McGuire execution Sat Jan 18, 2014 2:54 am | |
| Two United States politicians say death row inmates should be executed by firing squad if opposition to capital punishment by pharmaceutical companies makes it hard to obtain drugs for lethal injections.
States have turned to pharmacies that customise drugs and adopted untested new mixes after supplies of traditional execution drugs were cut off by manufacturers opposed to their use for the procedure.
The debate over lethal injections was reignited on Thursday when convicted murderer Dennis McGuire gasped and convulsed violently during his prolonged execution in Ohio as the state used a two-drug method for the first time in the US.
