COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina has set a Sept. 20 date to put inmate Freddie Eugene Owens to death in what would be the state's first execution in more than 13 years.
The state Legislature has since passed a law allowing officials to keep lethal injection drug suppliers secret and, in July, the state Supreme Court cleared the way to restart executions. The prisons director has five days to confirm that all three execution methods will be available. He must also give Owens's lawyers proof that the lethal injection drug is stable and correctly mixed, according to the high court's 2023 interpretation of the state's secrecy law on executions that helped reopen the door to South Carolina's death chamber.
