South Carolina adds firing squad to execution methods to address lethal injection shortage

South Carolina....4th state to bring in a firing squad as part of its executions, behind Utah, Oklahoma and Mississippi.

03/03/2021

Executions in South Carolina can now be carried out by firing squad after senators moved to address a shortage of lethal injection drugs.

SC's state senate approved...32-11...

....executions...can now be restarted after...10-year delay, ...those on death row....able...to choose how...die.

Inmates have been allowed to choose between the electric chair & lethal injection - ...prisoners...opted for...latter knowing that it is unavailable, ...delaying...execution.

The vote to approve the use of firing squads is effectively a workaround for the supply problems and the bureaucracy surrounding executions.

i have never understood why the government doesnt use confiscated heroine or fentanyl to do lethal injections.
