41% : South Carolina has shifted from a mix of three drugs to using only one, the sedative pentobarbital, for lethal injections, mirroring federal execution protocols.
39% : "The lack of transparency about the source of the execution drugs, how they were obtained and whether (they) can bring about as painless a death as possible is still of grave concern to the lawyers that represent persons on death row," attorney John Blume expressed via email.
38% : However, due to an unintentional pause in executions, the number of inmates on death row in South Carolina has decreased.
35% : Approximately 20 inmates have been removed from death row and given different prison sentences following successful appeals, while others have died of natural causes.
