Salt Lake City -- Ronnie Lee Gardner is scheduled to be executed by firing squad, June 18, for a 1985 fatal courthouse shooting. Gardner has refused Utah's lethal injection method and has asked, instead, to be shot. Meantime, the Utah Supreme Court is to hear an appeal aimed at reducing his sentence to life in prison.
Fire When Ready
Utah's capital punishment
Calls for lethal injection.
But convict Ronnie Lee Gardner
Got to make a selection.
Convicted of capital murder,
He said to the judge, guess what?
He'd rather not have any needles;
He'd simply much rather be shot.
