The Secretary of the Army, so yeah, it’s subject to change to accomodate this if leadership wills it, but the normal regulation revision and promulgation process would make that like a reprieve to the prisoner. I don’t really know how fast the regulatory bureaucracy can move just because Kegbreath is yelling at them.
I just looked it up.
The Secretary Of The Army.
As long as this is only livestreamed over the internet, you might be right. Just one of those “click to confirm you are 18 and over” links as legal cover.
As silly as it sounds, I think the published witness list is the one requirement you can’t get over, unless someone tells the warden* to just publish a list that says “everyone with an internet connection”. Which is stupid on its face, but that’s obviously not an impediment is it?

I’m wondering how the livestream will happen. I suspect that services like YouTube will not host the video. Who will?
The official site of the ministry of defense (or whatever it’s called today)?
With any luck the attending doctor can be identified, and shamed back to the stone age.
Some Trump involved website that ends with .RU.
Well, that’ll play out, watching the stream will also infect you with a lot of malware!
“It’s not malware if I get the proceeds.” – The orange felon, probably
The attending doctor is a military officer. Your shame is irrelevant.
Who is, almost certainly, ordered to be there.
Of all the people involved with this shit show the attending physician bears no responsibility for any it.
You’re all being short-sighted.
Televised/livestreamed executions could be a fantastic source of revenue to draw down the national debt.
Commercial sponsors will clamor to run ads.
“Tonight’s execution is brought to you by Bad Boy Mowers, General Electric
and the Saudi Arabia Department of Tourism.”
Agreed. The doctor pronouncing death is one of the few people involved who isn’t doing anything reprehensible.
Just do it in a monster truck arena. This administration is doing their best to make Idiocracy real life already, so why not.
Nah, that would be counterproductive: “Watch our own execution and torture shows! We even have beheadings and the chopping off of hands!” Would take business away from Trumpland.
Dang, it’s like LIV Golf all over again. The Saudis taking away top athletes. Except the execution version of that.
It’s a firing squad execution, not lethal injection.
Yeah, a doctor would only be present for declaring the victim dead, I suppose. But what if the firing squad are aiming badly and the victim gets shot, but not fatally?
Presumably they shoot again?
Well, in Christa Pike’s case, they gave her a second injection, but still it wasn’t enough to kill her. Could happen the same with a second round by firing squad. When do you stop?
