There was a huge kerfuffle about it here when it happened. We had a law on the books that allowed it and the dude insisted on it, ostensibly for religious reasons. I can't remember if we took the law off the books or not, but I hope we did. While nobody else knows who fired the killing shots, the people who did it know. If they're the type that wants to kill, then I don't want to give them the pleasure. If they're not, I don't want to make those people live with a violent death on their conscience. It's fucked up, just like executions in general.
EDIT: Execution by firing squad had been removed in 2004, but anyone sentenced before then had it as an option. Gardner was grandfathered in.
I was told years ago that there are multiple shooters and some of them have blanks so they don't actually who who fired the shot, I'm not sure how true that is.
You definitely feel the difference between a blank and an actual round, blanks barely have any recoil since there is no mass being accelerated forwards to create an equal and opposite reaction. That's why guns in most movies look like airsoft guns even if they are actual guns
They could use blanks with extra powder, and subsonic ammunition for the live rounds?
In this case, there were 5 shooters. One of them had a cartridge loaded with a wax bullet, so 4 of them had live rounds.
