President Trump has made it clear he wants Tyler Robinson executed for allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk . and if Trump gets his way, Kirk’s alleged killer faces a torturous fate.
The case will play out in Utah, where capital punishment is still a thing . and where folks on death row are executed one of two ways . firing squad or lethal injection.
Ronnie Lee Gardner was the last death row inmate in Utah killed by firing squad . in June 2010 at Utah State Prison for a 1985 murder . and a journalist who was there to watch the execution go down is recalling what it was like.
We’re told the execution was quick … and not overly graphic. Five law enforcement volunteers took up positions behind a wall with five slots, and each aimed their rifle at a white paper target on Gardner’s chest over his heart.
