  Speaker 3: by an audience and recorded live, making the matter of
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: motive secondary to the facts of the case. Despite this,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Judge David Foley acknowledged the difficulty of finding jurors who
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: haven't been influenced by extensive media coverage of the attack
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and the decades old fatwah. Judge Foley stated that potential
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: jurors will undergo questioning to assess any implicit biases, especially
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: since Matar, a resident of Fairview, New Jersey, is the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: son of Lebanese immigrants and practices Islam. Matar's defense attorney,

  Speaker 3: Matar also faces a federal indictment that includes terrorism related charges,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: accusing him of acting on the fatwah that called for
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Rushti's death. South Carolina's Supreme Court has scheduled the execution
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: of Richard Moore, marking the second execution in the state

  Speaker 2: Moore's case stands out because his jury did not include
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: any African Americans, an issue his defense has raised as
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a point of concern. His lawyer also argues that South
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Carolina has never executed anyone in modern times who initially
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: entered a crime scene without a weapon and later acted
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in self defense after being threatened. Moore will have the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: option to choose his method of execution lethal injection, electrocution,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: or the newly implemented firing squad. If he does not
• 4:49

  Speaker 2: injection drug pento barbe is stable and properly prepared. Moore
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: has a week to make his decision after these conditions

  Speaker 2: are confirmed. In twenty twenty two, More opted for the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: firing squad, but the execution was delayed due to legal
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: challenges over the availability of lethal injection drugs.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: This execution will be one of the first under South
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Carolina's updated laws, which now use a single drug, pental barbitol,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: in lethal injections, a protocol similar to that of the
