<\/p>\nSigmon is due to be executed today (March 7) after being charged with murder in 2001.<\/p>\n
The now 67-year-old killed the parents of his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Barbre, whom he\u2019d recently broken up with at the time.<\/p>\n
He went into her parents\u2019 Greenville County, South Carolina, home and beat them to death with a baseball bat.<\/p>\n
Sigmon also attempted to kidnap and kill Barbre, but was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

In light of his crimes, Sigmon received two death sentences and has been on death row for over two decades. He was also handed a 30-year prison sentence for burglary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And now Sigmon\u2019s day of execution has arrived and he will die by firing squad later today.<\/p>\n
He chose how he wanted to die, and will be the first death row inmate in in 15 years to die by such a method.<\/p>\n
It also marks the first time someone will be executed by firing squad in the state of South Carolina.<\/p>\n
Like all death row inmates, Sigmon was given the chance to chose his final meal.<\/p>\n
While the likes of Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah requested two cheeseburgers, fries, a well-done ribeye steak, six chicken wings, two strawberry sodas and a slice of apple pie, Sigmon reportedly opted for three buckets of KFC chicken.<\/p>\n
Apparently his intention was to share it with his fellow death row inmates, Bo King, Sigmon\u2019s lawyer, said.<\/p>\n
In the lead up to Sigmon\u2019s execution, King is doing what he can to try and save his client\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
He insists that the 67-year-old had a \u2018psychotic break\u2019 at the time of the murders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe death penalty is intended for the worst of the worst, and so in a case like Brad\u2019s,\u201d King argued.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe evidence that he\u2019s experiencing the psychotic break, that he\u2019s not competent at the time of trial, we think that argues against the imposition of the sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, King has said that Sigmon wasn\u2019t fully informed about his execution options when he decided to die by firing squad; particularly in regards to the lethal injection.<\/p>\n
The lawyer penned in a letter as a means of a last minute plea last month: \u201cBrad Sigmon has repeatedly asked for the basic facts needed to determine if South Carolina\u2019s drugs are expired, diluted, or spoiled.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently South Carolina execution laws requires officials to not reveal the doses of drugs used, how they are administered, who provides the pentobarbital and the names of members of the execution staff.<\/p>\n
The letter went on, as per Mail Online: \u201cHe has thus far been denied. He chose the firing squad because he was unwilling to risk the prolonged, torturous death that he fears his friends endured.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
