South Carolina wants to bring back the firing squad and the electric chair as the state argues that “painless” deaths are not mandated.
Among the 33 prisoners on death row in the Palmetto State, four inmates are arguing that the electric chair and firing squad are cruel and unusual punishments. The inmates also claim a 2023 law that allows lethal injections is too secretive about many details of the new drug.
However, the governor of the Palmetto State disagrees, saying all three methods fit the existing protocol and painless executions are not mandated by law.
“Courts have never held the death has to be instantaneous or painless,” wrote Grayson Lambert, a lawyer for Gov. Henry McMaster’s office.
Currently, the electric chair serves as South Carolina’s secondary option if lethal injection doesn’t work. Lawmakers added the firing squad to the list of options in 2021.
Need this for politicians who are getting rich off foreign oil stocks they’ve invested in.
This is why gas is high…. overseas oil ran by CCP
They should, The dirt bags of our society need to feel some of the pain they inflict in their last breath
Nobody is on death row for jaywalking. They killed one or more others to get that special cell.
So. like most of the populace agrees, once convicted they should have narrow window for appeals. Once appeals are concluded, they should be sending the commissary their menu selections for last meal and the deed should be done.
If you want NO PAIN don’t do the Crime !!!! We can start the GUILLOTINE again THEN you feel No pain !!!!!
What about John 8:7-11?
1008 am
Our Lord n Savior set up government to punish and eliminate evil people
Obviously, you’ve not been a victim of crime or you hide in Mommys basement with your dolly
4:04 Did our Lord also set up government to do all the things you complain about the government doing? As usual, you pick and choose and apply your scripture inconsistently.
I wonder how painless the deaths they caused were? Need to go back to the “eye for an eye” punishments.
