[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2497747, member: 26737"] IIRC, Oklahoma still has firing squad and electrocution as alternate execution methods. I think Oklahoma is the only state that still has firing squads as an option; Utah did away with that one earlier this century, after a prisoner chose it. As to why that guy isn't going to ride the lightning, I don't know. Could be that the execution method is set by the courts, and can't be changed; could be that Ol' Sparky isn't ready for use, and prepping it may cost more than waiting for them to figure out what went wrong. Hell, it could be that they just want a chance for things to blow over before they execute him. [/QUOTE]
