• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨South Carolina conducts first US firing squad execution in 15 years: ‘Barbaric’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sigmon chose to be shot dead out of fear that lethal injection would result in a “prolonged death” following reports that the last three South Carolina men executed by pentobarbital, a sedative, took more than 20 minutes to die and one appeared to suffer a condition akin to drowning and suffocation. They were “three men Brad knew and cared for”, his lawyers said, and he feared a slow injection process or being “burned and cooked alive” by electrocution.
