BREAKING: SC Supreme Court will wait five weeks between death notices, sets order for ex*****ons

>>Richard Moore would be the next to die, the court decided Friday, including the order in which it intends to issue ex*****on warrants in its decision.

The court on Friday also addressed a second question raised by inmate’s lawyers over the decision to schedule Owens’ ex*****on first. It was because his conviction was the oldest, not because he was the first to run out of appeals, the court wrote in its Friday order.

After Owens and Moore, the next to receive death warrants, in order, could be:

Marion Bowman, 44, who was convicted in 2001 of killing a woman who he said owed him money and burning her body in Dorchester County.

Brad Sigmon, 66, who was convicted in 2002 of killing his ex-girlfriend’s parents the year before in Greenville County.

Mikal Mahdi, 41, who was convicted in 2006 of killing a gas station clerk and police officer during a multi-state crime spree that ended in Calhoun County.

Steven Bixby, 57, who was convicted in 2007 of killing two police officers during a 12-hour standoff at his house in Abbeville County.

Two other men have exhausted their appeals but are waiting for judges to decide whether they are mentally competent enough to be executed.

COLUMBIA — A civil rights group argues a death row inmate should be allowed to give a recorded interview for publication before he is scheduled to die.

A motion this week is part of an ongoing federal lawsuit challenging a Department of Corrections policy that bars prisoners from giving interviews to reporters or members of other organizations. After the state Supreme Court ruled July 31 that death by electric chair and firing squad are constitutional, the question took on a newfound urgency, the state American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement Thursday.
