Supreme Court sides with an inmate who wants to die by firing squad
The SC on Thursday ruled in favor of a death row capture in Georgia who’s challenging the state’s murderer injection rules and seeks to die by firing team — a system not now authorized in the state.
The decision could make it easier for convicts to challenge their implicit prosecution system.
The 5- 4 maturity opinion was written by Justice Elena Kagan, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett penning a dissent joined by judges Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch.
