How First Firing Squad Conducted, Executed In the US  15 Years After

Sixty-seven-year-old Brad Keith Sigmon, an inmate at the South Carolina Department of Corrections in the United States, was executed by firing squad on Friday.

It was the first such execution in the US since 2010, and the fourth since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

Sigmon selected the firing squad out of three state-approved methods of execution; others are lethal injection or the electric chair.

Convicted of double homicide, he was declared deceased by a physician at 6:08 p.m. ET, officials announced at a news conference.

Sigmon was found guilty of the deaths of his former girlfriend’s parents in 2001. He kidnapped the ex-girlfriend after the murders, but she broke free.

“I want my closing statement to be one of love and a calling to my fellow Christians to help us end the death penalty,” Sigmon appealed in a statement.

The convict also quoted Bible verses on forgiveness, and said, “Nowhere does God in the New Testament give man the authority to kill another man.”

Sigmon’s attorneys filed a petition to stop his execution, seeking executive clemency and commutation of the death penalty to life imprisonment without parole.

The lawyers noted that he committed the crimes and “stood trial while in the grip of an undiagnosed, inherited mental illness.”

But the last-minute push was unsuccessful as the Supreme Court and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster declined to approve leniency.
