South Carolina Prepares for Historic Firing Squad Execution

South Carolina is set to carry out its first execution by firing squad in 15 years, marking a significant moment in the ongoing debate over execution methods in the United States. Brad Keith Sigmon, a death row inmate, has chosen this controversial method as his means of execution. The South Carolina Supreme Court has rejected his final appeals, allowing the execution to proceed. Advocates against the death penalty are actively campaigning against this method, questioning its morality and efficacy. This event has reignited discussions about the return of firing squad executions and their place in the American justice system, as well as the broader implications for death row inmates.
