Executed by firing squad and the SCTOUS said No? Was it resolved? Will they not execute him unless he chooses injection or electric chair? Even with the Death Penalty, if they give you a choice you should be allowed to have your wishes honored? Or was he brilliantly getting out of being executed?

Do you have a link to the case?
It ceases listed here last week.
Inmate asks judges to halt firing squad or electrocution. This photo provided by South Carolina Dept. of Corrections shows Richard Moore. Moore, an inmate set to die either by a firing squad or in the electric chair later this month is asking the state Supreme Court to halt his execution, Friday, April 8, 2022. Lawyers for 57-year-old Richard Moore say he shouldn't face execution until judges can determine if either method is cruel and unusual punishment. ( South Carolina Dept. of Corrections via AP)
It's just a claim that has to go through the process.
No form of execution approved has been determined cruel and unusual.
Injection should be made an option IMO and the case is moot.
But then we get back to the claim that some drug manufacturers aren't supplying the drugs that were said to be the more humane alternative.
