Ronnie Lee Gardner faces death by firing squad in Utah unless courts grant stay of execution

Time's ticking for a convicted killer under the gun unless the courts grant him a stay of execution. Ronnie Lee Gardner will die by firing squad at a Utah prison Friday morning if his death sentence isn't scrapped. The 49-year-old murderer would be the first American killed by a firing squad in 14 years. Chances Gardner, self-described as a “nasty little bugger," will escape death are slim unless the 10th Circuit of Appeals or the Supreme Court intervene. In his defense, Gardner says a horrendous childhood turned him into a cold-blooded killer. "It would have been a miracle if I didn't end up here," Gardner has said. At age 2, Gardner was found wandering alone in his diaper. By 6, he was sniffing gasoline and glue, followed by LSD and heroin at 10. Stays at a mental hospital and in an abusive foster home came later. In 1985 when he was 23, Gardner shot and killed a bartender. Six months later, he killed an attorney during his attempt to escape a courthouse. His plea to stay alive stems from his desire to help other troubled youths. "There's no better example in this state of what not to do," Gardner told the parole board.
