The Utah House of Representatives approved a measure Friday that would allow executions by firing squad. Perhaps it makes sense in a country obsessed with guns and its probably a lot cheaper, and quicker, than death by lethal injection - a method that has had its fair share of controversy lately.
There is another approach, of course. Don't kill at all. As Richard Kazimer reports from the US, Attorney General Eric Holder made his views clear this week: the death penalty is wrong. Sadly, he's still in a minority.
