The Idaho House on Thursday widely approved a bill to make death by firing squad the main death penalty method in Idaho. If passed into law, Idaho could become the only state to have death by firing squad as the primary death penalty method.

Idaho House lawmakers quickly – and relatively quietly – adopted a bill making the firing squad the state’s primary execution method.

This is not in any way lessening due process for those who are convicted and are facing the death penalty,” said Rep. Bruce Skaug, R-Nampa, the bill’s lead sponsor.
