Lethal injection is the only method of execution used in Colorado.

However, it is worth noting that only one execution has taken place in Colorado since the death penalty was reinstated in 1975 -- that of Gary Lee Davis, who confessed at trial to kidnapping, raping and killing a woman in 1986 by shooting her 14 times; he was executed in 1997. There are currently only three inmates on Colorado's death row, including one who's been there for 16 years. By comparison, here in Ohio, 47 people have been executed just since 1999, and today 154 people sit on death row.

In order to merit the death sentence in Colorado, one must be convicted of murder in the first degree, and "qualify" under at least one of a list of 17 conditions. The recent movie theater killer, James Holmes, for example, would likely fit #12 on the list: "The defendant used chemical, biological, or radiological weapons and/or the person intentionally killed more than one person in one criminal episode."
