Idaho seeks volunteers for firing squad executions as lethal injection fails

Idaho is seeking volunteers for firing squads to carry out executions. The state recently made the firing squad its standard execution method after lethal injection attempts failed. This decision follows a failed lethal injection attempt on a condemned inmate. The new law requires state penitentiaries to find volunteer officers for executions, with three primary shooters and two alternates. Idaho has eight inmates on death row, with executions stalled due to a shortage of lethal injection drugs. Volunteers will remain anonymous, with only prison officials knowing their identities.
