  • This whole thing reeks of corruption:

    South Carolina recently resumed executions after a 13-year pause due to a lack of lethal injection supplies and challenges to its other proposed methods, of electrocution and firing squads. The state restocked pentobarbital, a sedative, after it passed a law to shield the identities of companies supplying the drug, which had feared public backlash.

    The state supreme court has authorized the scheduling of executions roughly every five weeks, an extraordinary pace that lawyers argued would strain attorneys representing multiple defendants and risk botched executions due to the rushed process.
