Governor, Supreme Court reject stay requests; inmate awaits execution - Jun 2010
(CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request Thursday to temporarily stay the execution of death row inmate Ronnie Lee Gardner, who is set to die before a Utah firing squad early Friday.
The Supreme Court's rejection ended the last legal maneuver for Gardner, 49, who is scheduled to face execution shortly after midnight Friday (2 a.m. ET) for the shooting death of attorney Michael Burdell during a botched escape attempt from custody in 1985 at a Salt Lake City, Utah, courthouse. He would be only the third person to die by firing squad in the United States in 33 years.

I think he thought he might get out of it by asking for the firing squad instead of one of the other choices. I bet he is pissing his pants right now. I feel sorry for the guy but I feel 10x more sorry for his victims.
