Shoot him. It’s fast and he won’t suffer long. Didn’t they do that to a guy in Utah years ago.

I believe Utah is the last state to use firing squad.
It was Gary Gilmour.

He donated his organs...

Gary Gilmore, maybe?

I think at the time, the condemned had a choice of method in Utah. Or could at least request one of the three(?) methods available in the state.

Thailand, iirc, no longer has the DP, but for a number of decades, it was a single gunner emptying a magazine from a SMG hard-mounted to a post. I think the condemned was afixed face-first to the wall, and got it in the back.
