Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.
So, it sounds like it was all hearsay. I hope he gets another trial.

Firing squad executes Brad Keith Sigmon in South Carolina in 'bloody spectacle'
A firing squad in South Carolina executed Brad Keith Sigmon on Friday for the beating deaths of his ex-girlfriend's parents, marking the first firing squad execution in the state in modern history and the first in the U.S. since 2010.
Sigmon was strapped to a specially made chair and had a hood over his head while three volunteer corrections staffers aimed loaded rifles at his heart and each fired off live rounds, according to several news media witnesses who spoke at a news conference afterward. He was pronounced dead at 6:08 p.m., the witnesses said.
Sigmon was seated and restrained in a metal chair, a hood over his head, in the corner of a room shared by the state's electric chair, according to the execution witnesses.
The firing squad team − three voluntary corrections staff − were standing behind a wall with loaded rifles 15 feet from Sigmon. The wall has an opening for the weapons.
A small target was placed over Sigmon's heart, after which his attorney read his last words, the warden ordered the execution and the team fired, the witnesses said. The bullets all seemed to hit his chest over his heart, said Associated Press reporter Jeffrey Collins.
"It was instantaneous," Collins said. "When the shots were fired, it was very loud, it was very jarring ... I think at that point everyone in the room flinched ... There was only one place where I could see any damage so that makes me think they (the bullets) were all clustered."
Sigmon chose the firing squad over the electric chair or lethal injection, with his attorney citing "prolonged and potentially torturous deaths" caused by the state's recent execution drug and the barbarity of an "ancient electric chair, which would burn and cook him alive."
"He chose the firing squad knowing that three bullets would shatter his bones and destroy his heart," King said Friday. "But that was the only choice he had."
I still choose the firing squad
But I also plan to NOT beat 2 people to death.

I have formally changed my mind ~ I'll go back to lethal injection.
Yeah, this wasn't a clean head shot, they all aimed for his heart. It says the bullets went above his heart, fail. He obviously died, but still. He probably felt pain before he did. So, lethal injection still for me.
Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.
Do they pick the bottom of the barrel for these executions? I get it, there is no way I or 99% of the population would want to do your job. But can you maybe get it right one time?
I couldnt do lethal injection. Dont like the needle in my arm (catheter) and I would have an anxiety attack waiting for it to happen.
Just shoot me and get it over with.

I believe they are supposed to aim at the heart and not the head.
Yeah I got that. Just seems like a head shot would be quicker. But messier I'm sure lol.

I know. I think there is something about the messiness of it all coupled with the ability to identify someone...or something.
Or possibly study their brain?

Good point. As long as they give consent, that could happen.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...ars-rcna197025An Arizona man who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder was scheduled to be executed Wednesday in the state’s first use of the death penalty in more than two years.
Aaron Brian Gunches, 53, was slated to be lethally injected with pentobarbital at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence. Gunches fatally shot Ted Price, his girlfriend’s ex-husband, in the desert outside the Phoenix suburb of Mesa in 2002.
Gunches, who represented himself even though he isn’t a lawyer, asked the Arizona Supreme Court in 2022 to issue an execution warrant against him to give closure to Price’s family. He later withdrew the request.
In late December, Gunches asked the state’s highest court to skip legal formalities and schedule his execution as soon as possible, saying his death sentence was “long overdue.” The court refused the request and later set his execution date for Wednesday.
‘Casanova Killer,’ convicted of murder in Florida and California, set to be executed
https://www.cbs42.com/regional/flori...-executed/amp/
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed the death warrant for Glen Rogers, a man convicted of murder in Florida and California, including the murder of a woman in a Tampa hotel room 30 years ago.
In addition to his convictions, Rogers, also known as the Casanova Killer or Cross Country Killer, is suspected of several murders across the U.S.
Rogers claimed to be responsible for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, according to a 2012 documentary. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said the agency would look into the matter, but was confident that someone else had killed them.
Of course someone else killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.
I guess he wasnt getting enough notoriety for killing non famous people.Of course someone else killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Agree.
"three voluntary corrections staff"
that's got to be a special sign up sheet in the break room.

I would have thought some good old boys from SC would be a better shot.A South Carolina man executed last month by firing squad may have suffered for an extended period of time before dying because shooters largely missed his heart, an autopsy commissioned by the state shows.
Mikal Mahdi died on April 11 after being shot by a three-person firing squad. But an autopsy revealed two wounds on his chest, not three. None of the bullets hit his heart directly, as is supposed to happen during the execution. Instead, the wounds caused damage to his liver and other internal organs, and allowed his heart to keep beating. Pathologists say the injuries likely caused the prisoner pain and suffering while he was still conscious.
"He's not going to die instantaneously from this," said Dr. Carl Wigren, a forensic pathologist who reviewed the autopsy documents for NPR. "I think that it took him some time to bleed out."2 out of 2 firing squad executions there have been a fuck-up.
Ok I changed my mind.

Same!
A serial killer used his last words on Earth to shout-out President Donald Trump on Thursday.
"President Trump, keep making America great. I'm ready to go," Glen Rogers, known as the "Casanova Killer," said as he lay strapped to an execution gurney seconds before three drugs coursed through his veins and ended his life.
Randy Roberson, whose mother Andy Lou Jiles Sutton was a victim of the Casanova Killer, witnessed the execution and said that Rogers' comment about Trump seemed to confuse people in the room.
"I was like, 'Where did that even come from?'" he said.
His wife, Amy Roberson − also a witness to the execution − said she thought: "What the hell?"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...p/83656998007/Rogers was executed for the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, one of four single mothers in their 30s with reddish hair who fell victim to the so-called "Casanova Killer."
Rogers was known both as the "Casanova Killer" for his good looks and ability to charm his future victims, and as the "Cross Country Killer" because the victims all lived in different states: California, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida.
Soon after his arrest, Rogers claimed to have killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles in June 1994, and about 70 people overall. There was no evidence to back that up.
