There was doubt that Ronnie Lee Gardner killed two men, but did his past mean he should have served life in prison instead of death by firing squad? According to Wikipedia.com, the United States executed 52 people. This ranked fifth on the list of countries that still use capital punishment.
Ronnie Lee Gardner shouldn't of died by firing squad. He shouldn't of spent 25 years on death row. He shouldn't be in the news right now.
Ronnie Lee Gardner's victims families needed to feel justice was served, but executing the person responsible for their pain was not effective therapy for giving them closure. They can claim they felt closure, but they will still be missing their loved ones.
There is no form of justice that will bring back a loved one from the dead. Revenging a death is not a good practice in any country.
