Brad Sigmon, a South Carolina man, is set to be executed via firing squad for the first time in more than a decade in the U.S. He was convicted of the 2001 murders of his ex-girlfriend’s parents. The decision to choose the death penalty by firing squad is unique, as lethal injection is the most common method of execution in the U.S.
Sigmon’s choice was based on religious beliefs, as he believes in the Old Testament directive of “an eye for an eye.” He argued that the firing squad was a more Biblical and humane method of execution compared to lethal injection, which can sometimes result in botched executions.
The case has sparked debate around the death penalty and methods of execution in the U.S. While some support Sigmon’s choice, others believe that the death penalty itself is inhumane and should be abolished.
As the execution date draws near, the case of Brad Sigmon continues to attract attention and raise questions about the use of the death penalty in the U.S.
