Fox News: South Carolina convict inches closer to first US death by firing squad in 15 years
Brad Sigmon, a South Carolina death row inmate, is set to be executed by firing squad on Friday. This marks the first such execution in the U.S. in 15 years. Sigmon, 67, was convicted of brutally killing his ex-girlfriend's parents in 2001 and chose this method over lethal injection due to concerns over the secrecy surrounding the latter.
Despite his lawyers' pleas for clemency, citing his behavior as a model prisoner and his mental health struggles, South Carolina has not granted clemency in nearly five decades. The execution will proceed if approved by the state governor and attorney general. Five states permit firing squads under certain circumstances.
