South Carolina Schedules Execution of Richard Moore for November 1

The state resumes capital punishment after a 13-year hiatus, with Moore being the second inmate set for execution.

Richard Moore, convicted for a 1999 murder during a robbery, is scheduled for execution following a legal pause in South Carolina.
Moore, who is Black, was sentenced by an all-white jury, leading to claims of racial discrimination in his trial.
South Carolina has reintroduced executions with options including lethal injection, electrocution, and firing squad.
The state faced challenges in procuring lethal injection drugs, prompting a law to keep suppliers confidential.
Moore's legal team is seeking clemency from Governor Henry McMaster, citing self-defense and racial bias in his case.
