Convicted murderer Ronnie Gardner, center, sits with his defense team, Andrew Parnes, right, and Megan Moriarty in Judge Robin Reese's courtroom at the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah on Friday, April 23, 2010. Judge Reese is being asked to issue a warrant setting an execution date for Gardner. Under state law Gardner, 49, would be allowed to decide whether he would be killed by lethal injection or be shot by a five-man team of executioners firing from a set of matched rifles, a rarely used relic that harkens back to Utah's territorial history.
