    FOX News: Prof. Deborah Denno Argues the Firing Squad is an Effective, Humane Method of Execution

    Idaho lawmakers have advanced a bill to make the state’s newly revived firing squad its main method of execution as the quadruple murder trial of University of Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger approaches. Fordham Law Professor Deborah Denno, death penalty expert and founding director of Fordham Law’s Neuroscience and Law Center, spoke with FOX News about the firing squad being the most efficient and humane means of execution.

    One of the country’s leading experts on capital punishment, Fordham University professor Deborah Denno, has also argued that the firing squad is an effective and humane method of execution.

    “We’ve had three modern firing squad executions, and they have gone off as intended, and the inmate has died quickly and with dignity,” she said after Creech’s failed execution. “So, I think that is something to emphasize.”
