The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, blocked the planned executions of Sigmon and another inmate by electrocution, saying they cannot be put to death until they truly have the choice of a firing squad option set out in the state’s newly revised capital punishment law.

Under state law, Sigmon will choose between the electric chair and firing squad 14 days before his execution.
Sigmon was convicted on two counts of murder and first degree burglary from Greenville County in 2002.
