"By executing Brad Sigmon, South Carolina has also executed the possibility of redemption," said one critic. "Our state is declaring that no matter what you do to make up for your wrongdoing, we reserve the right to kill you."
Yeah, the context is fucked. The state government wanted to resume executions really bad, but the drugs they use apparently are excruciating, so they force them to choose between those drugs, the chair, or the squad. So yeah he chose the squad… because… well, what actually is the best choice for the guy in that context? I don’t know, but I feel like it’s very possibly isn’t the drugs.
