Firing squad executes Brad Keith Sigmon in South Carolina
2025-03-08
[Yahoo] 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.

#7  Strangely enough, Brad "Batters" Sigmon became very anti-death penalty in later life.

"Sigmon was convicted of battering David and Gladys Larke, aged 62 and 59, respectively, to death with a baseball bat on April 27, 2001, a week after he and his former girlfriend had broken up"

So it only took just 23+ YEARS to execute him and to have justice done.

Maybe I'll spend a few hrs today and dig up the list of the Liberal Lawyer & Legal groups names that file appeal and execution stay after stay.

Because in doing their Liberal anti-death penalty actions, they perverted justice. They forced the citizens of SC to feed, care and house this POS for 23+ years.

All after, there was NO DOUBT he violently murdered 2 Sr. Citizens of his ex-GF parents with a baseball bat no less.

#1  Death by baseball bat would have been more appropriate.
