Utah death row inmate to be executed by firing squad.

25 years?

Holy crap that never fails to amaze me. Are there any legal types here? I mean what *exactly* happened between years 16 and 17 for example? I can buy an old surpluse service rifle and get 200 rounds of ammo in one day. Why does shooting the SOB take longer than the time needed to breed and train a new fighter pilot?

Anyone know?
