Firing Squad Execution FAIL! Three Shooters MISS the Mark from 5 Yards Away

Firing Squad Execution FAIL! Three Shooters MISS the Mark from 5 Yards Away

Mikal Mahdi was just 21 years old when he began a crime spree that spanned four states and included two murders.

One of the victims was James Myers, a 56-year-old police captain with the Orangeburg Public Safety Department in South Carolina.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the crimes that led to Mahdi’s death sentence— and how the firing squad, once viewed as a more humane alternative to other execution methods, didn’t go as planned.

Did all three shooters miss the mark on Mikal Mahdi— or was the "mark" misplaced?
