South Carolina executed a death row inmate convicted of double homicide by firing squad.

Brad Sigmon was convicted over two decades ago for mercilessly bludgeoning David Lark and Gladys Lark, the parents of his former girlfriend, all the way to death with a baseball bat.

Like many other death row inmates, he spent decades continuing in legal battles to spare his own life, trying to convince the court that he should have the mercy he withheld from his victims.

But he chose the firing squad and became the first inmate in fifteen years to die by that method.

They should have used the baseball bat.

Sigmon decided to twist Scripture in protest against his execution, saying in his final statement that “nowhere does God in the New Testament give man the authority to kill another man.”
