Who is Brad Sigmon? The man facing America's first firing squad execution since 2010

When 67-year-old Brad Sigmon enters the death chamber on Friday night, he won’t face lethal injection or electrocution. However, Sigmon’s execution marks the state’s first by firing squad. The only previous U.S. firing squad executions since 1976 occurred in Utah in 1977, 1996, and 2010. A few details came out in court in 2022 during an unrelated trial that ultimately led the state Supreme Court to rule the firing squad, electric chair and lethal injection were all legal and didn’t violate the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
