South Carolina high court halts executions pending firing squad option
The South Carolina Supreme Court blocked planned executions of Brad Sigman and Freddie Owens until a firing squad is truly available under the revised capital punishment law. The court ruled the executions cannot proceed while inmates lack a real choice between electrocution and firing squad, as officials work to assemble a squad and secure drugs.
