💨 Abstract

The US is set to carry out its first firing squad execution in 15 years, with Brad Sigmon, a South Carolina man convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend’s parents, scheduled to be executed on Friday. Sigmon chose the firing squad after being forced to make a "cruel" decision about his manner of execution, as the alternative was the ancient electric chair which would "burn and cook him alive."
