Firing Squad Should Be Brought Back – US Judge An influential US Appeals Court Judge says for the nation's third lethal injection execution to be problematic in six months, underscores his call to bring back firing squads. Chief Judge, Alex Kozinski of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals said lethal injection is a "dishonest" attempt to disguise the brutal nature of capital punishment. He said properly trained firing squads are a "foolproof" way to quickly execute an inmate and avoid complications surrounding lethal injection. He said firing squads would never be hampered by a shortage of guns or bullets. Source: BBC
