South Carolina prepares for second firing squad execution

  • A South Carolina man, Mikal Mahdi, was executed by firing squad for killing Officer James Myers in 2004, marking the state’s second use of this execution method in five weeks.
  • Mahdi admitted to killing Myers by shooting him eight times and burning his body.
  • His final appeal was denied by both the U.S. And South Carolina Supreme Courts, concluding a 13-year pause on executions in the state.
  • Mahdi had the option to choose between firing squad, lethal injection, or electric chair, selecting what his attorney described as the lesser of three evils.
