(22/02/2023) - On Wednesday February 22 the South Carolina Senate passed 39-5 Bill S 120, shielding death penalty drugmakers.
The move marks lawmakers' latest effort to resume capital punishment in a state that has gone nearly 12 years without administering the death penalty.
South Carolina has been unable to purchase the drugs necessary for lethal injection since the state's batch expired in 2013.
