Peterson is guilty

And the jury found special circumstances--he's facing the death penalty.

I was very worried, but it seems for naught. I really thought this would be another OJ, but they were all polled and all said yes, unhesitatingly.

Yes, but a firing squad is only a legal method of execution in Idaho and Oklahoma. There are four convicts in Utah who requested firing squads prior to their being banned in that state on March 15, 2004 whose requests will be honored should they be executed.

As for why the gas chamber is considered cruel and unusual, the Courts have looked at the pain that the convict suffers as he/she is dying. Regardless of how much pain and suffering their victims had to go through, the convicts are supposed to be killed quickly and without feeling any pain. Something about that is terribly wrong, in my opinion.
