Capital Punishment in Utah
Various news outlets, 27 May 2003
A number of recent press reports regarding capital punishment in Utah have incorrectly implied that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints endorses the state's practice of using firing squads to carry out the death penalty. Following is the Church's position on capital punishment:
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regards the question of whether and in what circumstances the state should impose capital punishment as a matter to be decided solely by the prescribed processes of civil law. We neither promote nor oppose capital punishment."
