Anticipated Execution Dates for South Carolina Death Row Inmates Established

Following a hiatus, comprehensive details of the forthcoming executions of five death row prisoners in South Carolina have come to the forefront, setting the stage for grim upcoming events.

Convicted killer Richard Moore next in line

Richard Moore, a 59-year-old culprit from Spartanburg, has been placed on the forefront of the execution list, following his conviction for the murder of a convenience store clerk back in 1999. Ready to face his long-awaited fate as soon as October 25, Moore will be the next convicted killer to be put to death, following the state’s commencement of capital punishment after a 13-year gap.

His execution will mark the 45th instance of capital punishment in the state since US Supreme Court reinstated it in 1976.

Recent resumption of executions

The macabre act of state-sanctioned death was re-initiated on September 20, ending a long_standby period. The death of Freddie Eugene Owens, a Greenville resident convicted in the 1997 murder of Irene Graves, a convenience store clerk, appended the state’s execution history. Owens met his end via lethal injection, and other inmates awaiting their turn could select their death methods as well – the electric chair, firing squad, or lethal injection.

Inmates Fated for Execution

Richard Benard Moore

Moore received the lethal verdict on October 22, 2001, after being found guilty of the cold-blooded murder of James Mahoney, a 42-year-old man, on September 16, 1999.

Marion Bowman Jr.

The 44-year-old Marion Bowman Jr., whose execution date could be as early as October 25, was found guilty of murdering 21-year-old KanDee Louise Martin of Orangeburg in May 2002. To hide his sinister deed, he set Martin’s car ablaze with the body inside.

Brad Sigmon

Brad Sigmon, a 66-year-old native of Greenville, might face execution as soon as November 29 for killing his girlfriend’s parents, David and Gladys Larke, back in 2001.

Steven Bixby

Steven Bixby, a 57-year-old man, has been charged with the murder of a sheriff deputy and state constable back in 2007. His execution could come as soon as January 3.

Mikal Mahdi

Mikal Mahdi, 47, pled guilty in 2006 to the murder and robbery of a North Carolina store clerk and Orangeburg County Sheriff’s captain. His earliest execution date could be February 7.

The execution dates for these inmates were all set after exhausting all appeals, and after a court order dictated a minimum of 35-day interval between executions. Therefore, the state of South Carolina will likely continue to witness a series of executions in the upcoming days.
