After a lengthy delay caused by the state's struggle to obtain lethal injection drugs, South Carolina is scheduled to execute Marion Bowman Jr. on Friday, marking the state's first execution since September 2022.
South Carolina is set to execute Marion Bowman Jr. on Friday, marking the state's first execution since September 2022. Bowman, 44, was convicted of murder in 2000 for the shooting death of a friend. His body was found burned in the trunk of a car. The execution is scheduled for 6 p.m. at a Columbia prison. South Carolina has been facing a backlog of prisoners who exhausted their appeals while the state struggled to find lethal injection drugs.
Bowman's execution will be the first in the state since September 2022, when the execution of Richard Bernard was halted due to a legal challenge. Since then, the state has been working to resume executions, and Bowman's case has been at the forefront of this effort.
