Lawyer shares statement after death row inmate dies in state’s first ever execution by firing squad

Brad’s lawyer has said that his client had shown he was rehabilitated (South Carolina Department of Corrections)

King continued: “Brad is someone who, for his last meal, asked to get three buckets of original recipe Kentucky Fried Chicken so he could share with the guys that he’s incarcerated with on death row.

“With his last meal, he wanted to share something special with them.”

Witnesses said Sigmon said he wanted his final statement to be ‘one of love and a calling to my fellow Christians to help us end the death penalty’.

He added: “An eye for an eye was used as justification to the jury for seeking the death penalty. At that time, I was too ignorant to know how wrong that was. Why? Because we no longer live under the Old Testament law but now live under the New Testament.”

He closed by saying: “We are not under God’s grace and mercy.”
