South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster signed into law last week a bill that would essentially restart the state's stalled death penalty after a lack of lethal injection drugs has delayed several executions. The new law would let condemned inmates choose between the electric chair or a newly formed firing squad. HOGP This Oct. 12, 2017, photo provided by the South Carolina Department of Corrections shows Freddie Owens. The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, blocked the planned executions of Owens and another inmate by electrocution, saying they cannot be put to death until they truly have the choice of a firing squad option set out in the state's newly revised capital punishment law.
