Smart choice. Lethal injection has a terrible history in reliably killing someone without issues. A firing squad is significantly more humane, and people on death row will generally opt for it if given the choice.

Hmmm I wonder why that is… Surely it couldn’t be because capital punishment itself has no place in civilized society, right?
