Utah death row inmate Ronnie Lee Gardner is slated to have his execution date set on Monday, but he will first decide if he prefers to die by lethal injection or firing squad.

Utah has had that choice for many years. More interestingly, unless they've changed it, the family of the victim has the right to BE that firing squad if they want to.
In the case of Gary Gilmore the other respondent mentioned, the firing squad was made up of the victim's father, a couple of uncles and a cousin, I think.
