Bruce Skaug said Kohberger's case was not the reason a bill approving the method passed, but 'certainly his name comes up as a potential.'
In an appearance on NewsNation, Skaug said he hoped Little—a Republican who has voiced support for the death penalty—would sign the bill into law in the next few days and that it would take effect from July 1.
Skaug said Kohberger's case was not the reason the bill passed, but"certainly his name comes up as a potential." Only Mississippi, Utah, Oklahoma and South Carolina currently have laws allowing firing squads if other execution methods are unavailable, according to the Death Penalty Information Center . South Carolina's law is on hold pending the outcome of a legal challenge.
"We cannot get the drug. We could not carry out the death penalty and our preference is for lethal injection but if we can't do that, then this is the best course that we can take to carry out justice," he said.
