A convict police killer who became the second death corridor in Mate in South Carolina to that when signed the squad broke into a chuletón steak, risotto of fungi, broccoli, green necklace and cheese cake before being executed on Friday night.
Mikal Mahdi, 42, had three slugs in his heart for correctional volunteers trained at the Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia and was declared dead at 6:05 pm for the murder of the ambush of Public Security of Orangeburg, Myes.
Mahdi, who washed his last meal with a sweet tea, did not make a final statement before his execution, according to the South Carolina Corrections Department.
Mahdi was hooded and tied to a metal chair that sat on a capture basin inside the prison death chamber with a white target and Red Bullseye placed on his chest.
Three members of the State Correction Department stopped behind a wall 15 feet away and simultaneously opened fire through partition openings at 6:01 pm Each shooter fired a round, with Mahdi flexing theirs and crying the bullets.
The target was also pushed to the wound in her chest.
Mahdi continued to groan and breathe deeply for about two minutes before taking a final gasp, with a doctor affirming his four minutes after the shots were classified.
Nine witnesses were sitting in a room separated from the camera by bulletproof glass.
A member of the victim’s family, Mahdi’s lawyer, a representative of the Office of the First Circuit of the Plicitor and the Sheriff’s Office of Callo de Calhoun and three reporters were among the last moments of MAHDI.
Mahdi, who personally chose the violent punishment on the electric chair or lethal injection, became the second death corridor in Mate executed by the new farewell team of the state of Palmetto after the double murderer Brad Sigmon became the first person.
“In front of Bárbara and Inhuman elections, Mikal Mahdi had chosen the youngest of the three ills,” said his lawyer, David Weiss, in a statement after the execution, which is described as a “horrible act.” No
“Mikal chose the shooting squad instead of being burned and mutilated in the electric chair, or suffering persistent death on the lethal injection stretcher.”
Mahdi was sentenced to death after he confessed to shoot Myers at least eight times and then burn his body in a shed that had the backdrop of the officer’s wedding only 15 months before.
The atrocious act took place three days after killing Christopher Boggs, an employee of convenience stores in North Carolina. Mahdi shot the employee twice on his head.
He was later arrested in Florida while driving the police truck without marking from the police.
The last minute appeals to save Mahdi’s life were rejected this week both by the Supreme Court of the United States and South Carolina. His defense team argued that his original lawyers made little effort to save his life and could not call those who testified after the prosecution called 28 mills.
Republican governor Henry McMaster also denied clemency.
Five inmates have been executed in the state since September, when executions resumed after a 13 -year pause.
Twenty -six inmates remain in the death corridor.
