•Electric chair tested and firing squad prepared, South Carolina prison director says
69% Informative
Freddie Owens' lawyers have said they will review the statement, and if they don't think it is adequate, they will ask the state Supreme Court or federal judges to consider it.
The state's electric chair, built in 1912 , was tested June 25 and found to be working properly.
And the firing squad, allowed by a 2021 law, has the guns and training it needs, Corrections Director Bryan Stirling wrote.
Owens , 46 , was sentenced to death for killing a convenience store clerk in 1997 .
In South Carolina , the governor has the lone ability to grant clemency and reduce a death sentence to life in prison.
No governor has done that in the state's 43 executions since the death penalty was restarted in the U.S. in 1976 .
Gov. Henry McMaster said he hasn't decided what to do in Owens ' case.
