Final preparations have begun in America for the controversial execution of a convicted killer by firing squad tomorrow.
Barring a last minute reprieve by the U.S. Supreme Court, Ronnie Gardner will be shot by a team of five anonymous marksmen in Utah just after midnight.
The 49-year-old will be strapped to a chair, a hood will be placed over his head and a small white target will be pinned on his heart before the order, 'Ready, aim, fire' is given.
Relatives of his victims are expected to make up the two dozen-strong crowd who will watch from three observation rooms that surround the execution chamber.
Ronnie Gardner appears before Judge Robin Reese at the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City, where Gardner's execution date was set
Should it go ahead, Gardner will become the third person executed by firing squad in Utah - or anywhere else in the US - since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.
Utah has long held off from banning the firing squad and is the only state that allows it.
In 2004 it made lethal injection the default mode of execution but inmates condemned before then, such as Gardner, can still choose the firing squad.
Critics call it barbaric and protests are expected right up until the last minute.
In a previous rally against the execution, Bishop John C. Wester, of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, said: 'The firing squad is archaic, it's violent, and it simply expands on the violence that we already experience from guns as a society.'
Even Utah State Republican Sherly Allen, who favours the death penalty, disapproved of shooting because it shifts attention away from the victim to the convicted killer.
The chair that will be used when Gardner will be executed by firing squad at the Utah State Prison on Friday. Gardner will be strapped into the ####l chair, which is surrounded by sandbags to catch any stray bullets. The seat of the chair is mech and the chair sits on a sloping ####l tray which is supposed to catch any blood. There are straps for his shoulders, chest, arms, thighs and ankles to keep him properly seated
