The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked the planned executions of two inmates by electrocution, saying they cannot be put to death until they truly have the choice of a firing squad option set out in the state's newly revised capital punishment law.
The high court halted this month's scheduled executions of Brad Sigmon and Freddie Owens, writing that corrections officials need to put together a firing squad so that inmates can really choose between that or the electric chair. The state's plans, the court wrote in an unanimous order, are on hold “due to the statutory right of inmates to elect the manner of their execution.”
The executions were scheduled less than a month after the passage of a new law compelling the condemned to choose between electrocution or a firing squad if lethal injection drugs aren’t available. The statute is aimed at restarting executions after an involuntary 10-year pause that the state attributes to an inability to procure the drugs.

I’ll drive a box of 22 lr down to them by morning . . . do they need them?
How cruel and unusual. I’ll bring my 41 magnum.
Screw ‘em. Their victims didn’t get a choice.
BM for later… expecting more numerous responses- JUST like these.
Give them COVID vaccine
Way to classy for some con.
So the “judge” (IMQMWMF) thinks that WHO is on the firing squad makes a difference and is a point of consideration for the convicted “fellows” to in order to choose between getting fried or fired at?
Can they choose BOTH options- a simultaneous shot and shock?

"I mean, come on, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot 'im together. It'll be fun. BANG! Dead. Done."
:)
Have they asked for volunteers yet?
Tell them that the electric chair is powered by a USB charger. It’ll give you a nasty jolt but may not be enough to finish the job quickly.
All of the seized drugs from Mexico/China. Simple to administer.
And if that USB cord is plugged into a Windows 98 Computer, there might be a chance to live through the execution.
Or at least delay it while they wait for technical support.
Blue Screen of DEATH
I think not.

Nuke ‘em from orbit!
Have the firing squad use 5.56/.223 AR-15 ‘assault’ rifles, that’ll drive the left bonkers.
Unconstitutional.
