South Carolina Supreme Court Issues Death Warrant for Killer in 2004 Case, Must Choose Method of Execution by October 31st

Convicted killer Stephen Bryant is going to face the death penalty next month. The South Carolina Supreme Court has issued the death warrant as of this week.

Bryant was found guilty of murdering three people in 2004.

Now he has until the end of this month to choose the method of his execution and because this is South Carolina, he has some choices.

FOX News reports:

Execution set for twisted killer who taunted police with message in victim’s blood: ‘Catch me if u can’

A South Carolina man on death row is scheduled to be executed next month for killing a man, burning his eyes with cigarettes and taunting police by painting “catch me if u can” on a wall with the victim’s blood more than 20 years ago.

Stephen Bryant, 44, will be put to death Nov. 14 after the state Supreme Court issued the death warrant Friday, rejecting a request from Bryant’s lawyers for a delay because they work with the federal court system and the U.S. government is shut down.

Bryant is scheduled for execution for one killing, but prosecutors said he also fatally shot two other men he was giving rides to as they were urinating on the side of the road in Sumter County in October 2004.

He will have until Oct. 31 to choose if he wants to die by lethal injection, firing squad or the electric chair. Since the state resumed executions last year following an involuntary 13-year pause due to trouble obtaining lethal injection drugs, four inmates have selected lethal injection and two have died by firing squad.

What a gruesome case.

If there’s no last-minute intervention from Gov. Henry McMaster or the courts, South Carolina will hold another prisoner execution on Nov. 14. Stephen Bryant, who admitted to killing 3 people in Sumter County, was issued an execution order this morning. #deathpenalty pic.twitter.com/8AtuOkT2QX

The state of South Carolina and the rest of the country, will be better off without this person.
