The U.S. Supreme Court has denied the final appeal of a South Carolina inmate just one day before his scheduled execution. Brad Sigmon, who was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend’s parents nearly two decades ago, will now face the death penalty after exhausting all legal options for appeal.
Sigmon’s attorneys argued that his original trial was flawed and that he did not receive a fair sentencing hearing, but the Supreme Court ultimately decided not to review the case. This decision comes after multiple lower courts also rejected his appeals, leaving the Supreme Court as his last hope for a stay of execution.
The execution, scheduled for Friday, will mark the first time South Carolina has put a prisoner to death in a decade. Sigmon will be given a choice between the electric chair and a firing squad, as the state recently reinstated the firing squad as a method of execution.
Despite ongoing challenges and efforts to stop the execution, it appears that Brad Sigmon will face the ultimate punishment for his crimes.
