Richard Moore Execution Stayed

November 30, 2020 by Lindsey Vann

Today, November 30th, the South Carolina Supreme Court stayed the 12/4 execution date scheduled for Richard Moore. In its stay order, the Court explained it had “been advised the South Carolina Department of Corrections does not have, and will not be able to obtain, the drugs required for execution by lethal injection by December 4, 2020.” Accordingly, the Court stayed the execution “until the South Carolina Department of Corrections advises the Court it has the ability to perform the execution as required by the law.”

Moore’s lawyers are pleased the execution was stayed but will continue their attempts to obtain information about how the State plans to execute him.
