I believe they use lethal injection in California. However, it appears that Hans may be in luck. According to Wikipedia:
"In February of 2006, a de facto moratorium on capital punishment was enforced in California as the state was unable to obtain the services of a licensed medical professional to carry out the execution of Michael Morales. The occurrence came as a result of an injunction made by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which held that an execution could only be carried out by a medical technician legally authorized to administer IV medications, as the lethal injection procedure if wrongfully performed could lead to suffering for the condemned, potentially constituting cruel and unusual punishment."
