Richard Moore, a condemned prisoner from Spartanburg, has chosen to die by lethal injection. He will be South Carolina's second inmate to be executed in 2024.

Richard Moore will be the second person executed in South Carolina following a 13-year pause when the state ran out of the drugs needed for lethal injections.

A South Carolina man was sentenced to life in prison for the 2019 murder of a Black transgender woman, following the first trial verdict to convict someone of a federal hate crime against a trans person.

According to the evidence that was presented, the government proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Ritter murdered Doe because of her gender identity, and Ritter burned the clothes he was wearing during the crime,
