New death penalty law makes inmates pick electric chair or firing squad in South Carolina May 17, 2021 / 12:47 PM / CBS/AP South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has signed into law a bill that forces death row inmates for now to choose between the electric chair or a newly formed firing squad in hopes the state can restart executions after an involuntary 10-year pause. South Carolina had been one of the most prolific states of its size in putting inmates to death, but a lack of lethal injection drugs brought executions to a halt. McMaster signed the bill Friday with no ceremony or fanfare, according to the state Legislature s website. It s the first bill the governor decided to deal with after nearly 50 hit his desk Thursday.
