(Georgia Department of Corrections)
Nance’s lawyers suggested he face a firing squad instead of a needle.
A federal judge rejected that and a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it could not consider the request for procedural reasons. The full appeals court on Tuesday issued a 7-3 decision declining to reconsider the panel s decision.
Michael Wade Nance shot and killed a driver after robbing a Lilburn bank back in 1993. He was sentenced to death in 2002.
Currently, only Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Utah offer a firing squad as a method of execution.

ATLANTA A federal appeals court has declined to reconsider its earlier ruling that rejected the request by a man on Georgia’s death row to die by firing squad rather than by the injection of a sedative.
Lawyers for Michael Wade Nance argued that his veins are severely compromised and that the execution method Georgia uses injection of pentobarbital could cause him excruciating pain in violation of his constitutional rights. They suggested instead that the state execute Nance by firing squad.
