South Carolina Supreme Court schedules Richard Moore's execution for November 1, following a 13-year hiatus on executions.

The South Carolina Supreme Court has scheduled Richard Moore's execution for November 1. Convicted in 1999 for killing a store clerk during a robbery, Moore is the second of six executions planned in the state after a 13-year hiatus. He may choose between lethal injection, electrocution, or a firing squad. Moore's lawyers plan to appeal, arguing he acted in self-defense. He will also seek clemency from Governor Henry McMaster, though no governor has granted such requests recently.
