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.
