South Carolina’s prisons director says the state's supply of its lethal injection drug is pure, its electric chair was tested a month ago and its firing squad has the ammunition and training to carry out its first execution in more than 13 years.

This undated photo provided by the South Carolina Department of Corrections shows Freddie Eugene Ownes.

The state suggested in court papers that the justices question Owens to make sure he understands the execution method choice is final and can't be changed even if he were to revoke the power of attorney. The state previously used a three-drug cocktail but those drugs expired, part of the reason no execution has been carried out in South Carolina since 2011., which keeps secret the name of the supplier of the drug and anyone who helps carry out the execution. The law's passage in 2023 also helped restart executions so the state could buy pentobarbital and keep the supplier private.

After being convicted of murder his initial trial in 1999, but before a jury determined his sentence, authorities said Owens killed his cellmate at the Greenville County jail. Owens has one more avenue to try to save his life: In South Carolina, the governor has the lone ability to grant clemency and reduce a death sentence to life in prison.
