The South Carolina Supreme Court has ruled on Wednesday that the state's death penalty, which includes methods such as firing squad, lethal injection, and the electric chair, is legal. The ruling upholds the constitutionality of these execution methods, allowing the state to resume executions after more than a decade. The decision was not unanimous, as two judges disagreed with the inclusion of the firing squad.
