Fox News: South Carolina scheduling executions again after a pause for the holidays
South Carolina is set to resume executions after a holiday pause, with the next scheduled for January 31. Marion Bowman Jr., convicted of murder in 2001, maintains his innocence and is among several inmates whose executions were delayed due to drug supply issues.
