The U.S. is expected to execute someone by firing squad Friday for the first time in 15 years.
Brad Sigmon, 67, has elected to have South Carolina execute him by firing squad rather than the electric chair or lethal injection. Sigmon was sentenced to die in 2002 for beating his ex-girlfriend's parents to death with a baseball bat. Sigmon also kidnapped the woman and planned to murder her but she was able to escape.
