South Carolina inmate utters just one final word before dying by lethal injection in state’s first execution in 13 years

Convicted killer Freddie Owens was put to death in South Carolina on Friday — the first execution carried out in the Palmetto State in 13 years after prison officials struggled to find the necessary drugs for lethal injections.

Owens killed a Greenville convenience store clerk during a robbery during a botched robbery in 1997. While on trial, Owens killed an inmate at a county jail, which he confessed to, leading a jury to sentence him to death.

In the death chamber, the 46-year-old said only “bye” to his attorney as he was strapped into a gurney with his arms stretched out to his sides, according to The Associated Press.

Back when NY imposed the death penalty, stickup guys would use empty or otherwise inoperable guns in their robberies to make certain that nothing could go wrong and some clerk end up dead, earning the hapless crook the death penalty.

I only looked at this article to see how long it would take until someone posted that GIF.

I was not disappointed, post 1, really #1 after nickcarraway, who posted the article.

I actually figured nickcarraway would post it with his first comment!

“botched robbery in 1997” It’s 2024 now, why did it take 27 years?

Just got lucky with the timing. Like you, it was the first thing that came to mind.

Before reading the article, my guesses were "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", or "onomatopoeia".
