Utah House Approves Bill Allowing Executions By Firing Squad

The Utah House of Representatives approved a measure Friday that would allow executions by firing squad, the AP reports.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) announced Friday he had placed a moratorium on the death penalty in his state, saying his decision was “based on a flawed system that has been proven to be an endless cycle of court proceedings as well as ineffective, unjust, and expensive.”
