Richard Moore was put to death by lethal injection Friday for the 1999 fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk.
South Carolina put Richard Moore to death by lethal injection Friday for the 1999 fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk, despite a broad appeal for mercy by parties that included three jurors and the judge from his trial, a former prison director, pastors and his family.Moore, 59, was pronounced dead at 6:24 p.m. Eastern Time. Moore was convicted of killing the Spartanburg convenience store clerk in September 1999 and sentenced to death two years later.
They all said Moore, 59, was a changed man who loved God, doted on his new grandchildren the best he could, helped guards keep the peace and mentored other prisoners after his addiction to drugs clouded his judgment and led to the shootout in which James Mahoney was killed, according to the clemency petition.
