Marion Bowman Jr., a South Carolina inmate, was executed on Friday night in Columbia for a 2001 murder. Bowman was convicted of killing a friend who was found dead in her burning car in Dorchester County. Despite his claims of innocence, Bowman declined to ask Governor Henry McMaster for clemency, choosing not to spend the rest of his life in prison for a crime he maintained he did not commit. Governor McMaster ultimately declined to grant clemency, and Bowman’s execution was carried out shortly after. This marks the third execution in South Carolina since September 2024. The case has sparked conversation about the death penalty and the justice system in South Carolina.
