AND South Carolina A prisoner of Death Row, who roughly killed his ex-girlfriend’s parents with a baseball baton in 2001, should be made by shooting on Friday-first such execution in the United States in 15 years.
Brad Sigmon, 67, who acknowledged the murders because his ex -girlfriend refused to return to him, would be tied to a chair at about 6:00 pm, and three volunteers armed with rifles about 15 feet away, will fire me on my heart.
Each will be armed .308 caliber, Winchester 110-Zrno urban ammunition, which often use police marketers. The bullet is designed to break up to impact with something hard, like the bone of the prisoner, by sending fragments that were supposed to destroy the heart and almost immediately cause death.

Texas Death Row Closed Mouth Final Message with Two Words of Victims Families Before Execution
The execution will go forward if the Government Government southern Caroline Henry McMaster and South Carolina State Attorney Alan Wilson signed up for it. Sigmon’s lawyers asked McMaster to travel His death sentence to a life prison, claiming that he was a captive pattern and that he works every day to experience himself for the murders he committed after succumbing to serious mental illnesses. But no southern Caroline governor approved grace in 49 years since the death penalty continued.
Sigmon chose a shooting method over an electric chair that would “cook it alive” or a deadly injection, whose details are kept secret in South Carolina, his lawyers said.
South Caroline, guarding information on how to carry out deadly injections, led him to decide on shooting, which he admits to be a violent death, his lawyer said. On Thursday, Sigmon’s lawyers asked Supreme Court To delay its execution because the state does not publish enough information on the deadly injection drug.
Sigmon said he had performed brutal killers For he was angry that the victims were emigrated from the trailer they owned. They were in the separate rooms of their Greenville County District, and Sigmon moved forward and backwards, attacking them until they were dead, investigators said.
He then shot his ex -girlfriend while she fled, but missed prosecutors.

“My intention was to kill her, and then me,” Sigmon said in the recognition that the detective had inserted after his arrest. “That was my intention all the time. If I couldn’t have it, I didn’t want to let anyone have it. And I knew it came to a point where I couldn’t have it.”
Five countries – Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah – authorize the use of cracking in certain circumstances.
Only three prisoners – in Utah in 1977, 1996 and 2010 – faced a shot in the United States since the death penalty was returned in 1976. Ronnie Gardner was the last prisoner performed by a shooting, in Utah 2010.

The executions in South Carolina continued in September, when the state-not-one of the most prominent to execute-a 13-year-old break in conducting a death penalty.
The break was partly caused by a state that has difficulty in obtaining deadly injection drugs after their supply expired due to the concern of pharmaceutical companies that they would have to discover that they had sold medicines to state officials. The state legislative body then passed the Protector Act that allowed the officers to remain private suppliers of medication for injection.
Twenty-five executions were carried out in the US last year. Five had already been implemented in 2025, at the Information Center for Death Penalty.
