Under Idaho\u2019s system, three anonymous, certified law-enforcement officers will carry out executions, with strict firearm-training and eligibility requirements, while the state\u2019s policy continues to face intense legal and ethical criticism.<br \/>\nREAD BELOW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idaho has made the firing squad its default method of execution as of July 1, 2026, becoming the first U.S. state to adopt it as its primary&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
