In 2002, Michael Wade Nance was sentenced to death for shooting Gabor Balogh who was forty-three-years old because he resisted giving up his car to Nance, who had just robbed a Tucker Federal Savings and Loan and was looking for a getaway vehicle. Soon Nance will finally be put to death, but he asked for a special request, which is to be put to death by firing squad. He states that his veins are too narrow that lethal injection would cause him excruciating pain which would impede his 8th Amendment right of no cruel or unusual punishments. People in the past, however, have requested death by firing squad because it would cause them pain due to the drug they were using for his chronic back, which is what Nance is using. The court will decide at a later date whether to use a firing squad, like Nance asked, or to just use lethal injection.
