Just days before inmate Freddie Owens is set to die by lethal injection in South Carolina, the friend whose testimony helped send Owens to prison is saying he lied to save himself from the death chamber. Owens is set to die at 6 p.m. Friday at a Columbia prison for the killing of a Greenville convenience store clerk in 1997.
In March, journalists from The Associated Press and the Press Trust of India gathered in Kochi, India, for a workshop on climate and environmental coverage that was supported by the Stanley Center for Peace and Security. During the workshop, PTI journalists did reporting on several stories, which are being co-published by the AP.The state of South Carolina is set to execute an inmate on Friday, the first execution in 13 years in the state after a lengthy delay over lethal injections drugs.
Golden testified at Owens’ trial, saying prosecutors promised to consider his testimony in his favor but he still faced the death penalty or life in prison. He was eventually sentenced to 28 years in prison after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, according to court records.
Prosecutors argued last week that Graves’ decision to change his story shouldn’t be enough to stop the execution because Graves has now admitted to lying under oath, thereby showing that he cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
