South Carolina Carries Out First Execution In 13 Years

South Carolina Carries Out First Execution In 13 Years

Freddie Owens was executed on Friday, despite a reversal from a key witness.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina put Freddie Owens to death Friday as the state restarted executions after an unintended 13-year pause because prison officials couldn’t get the drugs needed for lethal injections.

Owens was convicted of the 1997 killing of a Greenville convenience store clerk during a robbery. While on trial, Owens killed an inmate at a county jail. His confession to that attack was read to two different juries and a judge who all sentenced him to death.

Owens, 46, was pronounced dead at 6:55 p.m.

His last-ditch appeals were repeatedly denied, including by a federal court Friday morning. Owens also petitioned for a stay of execution from the U.S. Supreme Court. South Carolina’s governor and corrections director swiftly filed a reply, stating the high court should reject Owens’ petition. The filing said nothing is exceptional about his case.

The high court denied the request shortly after the scheduled start time of the execution.
