May 24 "LET'S DO IT: GARY GILMORE AND THE THREE WORDS THAT REOPENED AMERICA'S DEATH CHAMBERS"
Reid Carter marks the 49th anniversary of Gary Gilmore's execution - the firing squad death that ended America's decade-long moratorium on capital punishment. January 17, 1977: Five riflemen, four live rounds, and a convicted killer who demanded the state kill him. Gilmore murdered two young Mormon fathers - Max Jensen, 24, and Bennie Bushnell, 25 - in back-to-back Utah robberies. Both complied. Both died anyway. His last words "Let's do it" later inspired Nike's billion-dollar "Just Do It" slogan. From abusive childhood to federal prison to firing squad - how one man's death wish reopened America's execution chambers.
