Two executions in South Carolina are BLOCKED until the state can form a firing squad so that the inmates are able to choose how they die
2021-06-18
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The state's Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked the planned executions of Brad Sigmon and Freddie Owens until they can choose how they die

  • Under new capital punishment law, inmates are able to choose death by electrocution, lethal injection or firing squad

  • Sigmon and Owens both chose lethal injection, but the state doesn't have the necessary drugs for that method of execution

  • Corrections officers have also not yet assembled a firing squad, therefore electrocution would be the only option

  • The new revigorated opponents of capital punishment, who sent the state's governor a letter urging he call of the executions

#9  Use whatever system of termination you want to . . . and then make a formal apology afterwards. Rinse and repeat.

#2  A couple states are looking at nitrogen asphyxia as a method. Can't wait to see the lawsuits about the purity of the nitrogen and all the woke corporations going out of the nitrogen business to thwart the eeeeevil state.

No shortage of Fire Squad Volunteers of Drugs held as Evidence that could do the trick.

Just Paperwork issues.

BTW: I am a strong supporter of Execution In Kind.
Execution of the murder the same way they used on their victim. NO CHOICE.
