In South Carolina, 67-year-old Brad Sigmon has been executed by the method of execution-this is the first such execution in the United States since 2010. According to Associated Press, Sigmon was sentenced to double murder in 2001. He killed David and Gledis Larks, using a baseball bat while trying to steal his ex -girl. After the murder, he seized her, but the woman managed to escape.
The execution of Brad Sigmon was performed by three volunteers-employees of prison workers who shot him from the rifles. He was dressed in a black overalls with a hood on his head and a white target with a red eye on his chest. This method was chosen by the convicted person because he feared that the electric chair would "boil it alive", and a deadly injection can cause shortness of breath due to the inflow of fluid and blood in its lung.
Protesters who opposed the execution with the posters "Any Life Valuable" and "Deciding Justice, not People" gathered in front of the prison in South Carolina.
Since 1977, only three prisoners have been executed in the United States, and all these cases have occurred in Utah. The last such execution to Brad Sigmon took place in 2010.
