When firing squads were still fairly regular fixtures on the American execution scene, who did make up the squads? Were they employees of the penitentiary system or soldiers? Either would seem at least a little awkward to me.
State troopers, I believe. One of the guns has a blank in it so each shooter has a 20% chance of being blameless in the execution.
