(Before It's News)

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert signed into law Monday a measure that allows the state to perform executions with a firing squad if lethal drugs are unavailable.

Herbert signed the measure despite having until April 1 to make a decision. He had been on the fence about the issue, but leaned toward signing it, saying the state needs a fallback method.

Public opinion had been split on the issue. In fact, over the weekend the governor received hundreds of letters urging him to either support the measure or veto it.

State lawmakers passed the Death Penalty Procedure Amendments on March 10 and sent it to the governor’s office two days later.
