South Carolina has brought back the firing squad as a method of execution, making it one of the few US states where it is lawful to carry out a death sentence in that manner
The death penalty was reintroduced in the US in 1977 following a 10-year pause, during which the Supreme Court attempted to address the legal questions around the issue.
The last person in the US to be executed by firing squad was Ronnie Lee Gardner in 2010, a 49-year-old who killed a man while attempting to escape from a courthouse in 1985.
