💨 Abstract

A murderer, Mikal Mahdi, was executed by firing squad in South Carolina, the second such execution in the last 15 years. Mahdi, who had been on death row since 2004 for killing an off-duty police officer and setting his body on fire, chose this rare method over lethal injection or electrocution. Witnesses observed him groaning and breathing heavily after the shots were fired.
