Dylann Roof back in headlines as federal justice debates execution methods—remember: born 1994, Charleston church shooter, white supremacist, mass murder.
The Biden administration has approved new execution methods, including firing squads, electrocution, and gas asphyxiation, citing drug shortages and legal changes. This move follows a 20-year hiatus and aims to expand options for federal executions, despite declining public support for the death penalty. It will likely take years before executions are scheduled.
