Mikal Mahdi
Mikal Mahdi is a South Carolina death row inmate who gained notoriety for choosing execution by firing squad, a method that was recently reinstated in the state. Convicted of murdering police officer James Myers in 2004, Mahdi's case has drawn attention due to claims of inadequate legal representation during his trial. Scheduled to be executed on April 11, 2023, Mahdi's choice of execution method has sparked discussions about the ethics of capital punishment and the treatment of inmates on death row.
