Double murderer Brad Sigmon, 67, is scheduled to be executed at 6 pm EST on Friday at the Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina.
Brad Sigmon is being executed by firing squad, a method he chose due to issues with lethal injections. His brother, Mike, shared that Brad is calm and remorseful, having found faith in prison. Their elderly mother, battling dementia, is unaware of the execution to shield her from further distress after their father's recent death. The brother of Ronnie Lee Gardner, the last person executed by firing squad in the US, spoke out against the "barbaric" method, fearing Sigmon's execution will be even more gruesome due to the use of higher-caliber bullets.
