flag South Carolina Supreme Court upholds three execution methods' constitutionality.

flag South Carolina's Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of three execution methods: electrocution, firing squad, and lethal injection. flag The court's decision allows death row inmates to choose between these methods, potentially reopening executions in the state. flag All five justices concurred with at least part of the ruling, although some disagreed on certain aspects, with two justices arguing the firing squad was not permissible and one stating the electric chair was cruel and unusual punishment. flag The court's ruling comes after more than a decade without executions in South Carolina, due to expired execution drug supplies.
