Moore's attorney said that the prison is not doing enough to get the drugs and is forcing prisoners to choose between the electric chair or the firing squad. South Carolina's highest court issued a temporary stay on Wednesday preventing the state from carrying out its first-ever firing squad execution. The planned April 29 execution of Richard Bernard Moore, who was sentenced to death for the 1999 killing of a convenience store clerk, was put on hold by the state Supreme Court. In 2010, the last execution by firing squad was in the U.S. The court said in issuing the temporary stay that it would release a more detailed order later.

Since 1976, Utah has carried out three firing squad executions, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. The most recent was in 2010 when a five-person squad facedRonnie Lee Gardner. The last execution in South Carolina was in 2011. After the state's last batches of lethal injection drugs expired, there was a decadelong hiatus in executions. The attempts to contact manufacturers and compounding pharmacies have been unsuccessful. The electric chair was made the default execution method by a law that was supposed to solve the problem. Moore's execution date was set after it was revealed that the state's death chamber had been renovated to accommodate the firing squad. Moore maintained in a written statement that he was forced to make a decision by a deadline set by state law and still found both options unconstitutional. Moore and three other death row inmates who have mostly exhausted their appeals will be examined by a state judge. Their lawyers argue that both the firing squad and the electrocution are methods of killing. The prisoners' attorneys want the judge to closely examine the prisons officials, who they claim can't get hold of lethal injection drugs. Moore is asking a federal judge to consider whether the firing squad and electric chair are cruel and unusual. South Carolina is one of eight states that still use the electric chair and one of four that allow a firing squad, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Moore has been on death row for more than two decades after he was convicted in the fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk. At his trial, prosecutors said that he entered the store to get money to support his cocaine habit. Moore wrestled a pistol away from the man who drew it. Moore was shot in the arm and Mahoney was shot in the chest in the gunfight. Moore's lawyers said he couldn't have killed someone when he entered the store because he didn't have a gun.
