US Army to Hold First Execution Since 1961 by Firing Squad
Original: The Army Hasn't Executed Anyone Since 1961 — On Dec 3 It Uses a Firing Squad
The United States Army has scheduled a military execution for December 3, its first since 1961, to be carried out by firing squad. The case is drawing attention because federal and military executions are rare, and death by firing squad is an unusual method in the American justice system. Discussion centres on what this means for the future of the military death penalty.
Why now: A firing squad execution would be an extraordinarily rare and historic event, breaking a six-decade hiatus in US military executions.
