South Carolina Supreme Court ruled death by electrocution, firing squad, or lethal injection legal, as inmates can choose least painful method, impacting state's death penalty practices.
Majority opinion stated condemned inmates can elect least painful execution method, emphasizing state's intention to carry out laws less inhumanely, allowing executions to potentially resume in South Carolina.
Justice 360 expressed disappointment in ruling, aiming to uphold inmates' rights on death row, evaluating next legal steps to advocate for protection amidst evolving circumstances.
