CHARLESTON, S.C. — South Carolina courts gave Richard Moore eight days to decide exactly how he wants to die, and on Friday he made his choice.
Moore, who has been on South Carolina’s death row for 21 years, is scheduled for execution on April 29. By state law, the 57-year-old Spartanburg man had to determine which execution method will be responsible for ending his life: the state’s 110-year-old electric chair or a three-man firing squad.
Moore picked the newest option offered by the state, the firing squad. Lethal injection was not an option.
