South Carolina is set to carry out its fifth execution since resuming capital punishment last autumn after a thirteen year hiatus. The state Supreme Court has scheduled Michael maddy to die on April eleventh at six pm at a Columbia prison. The forty one year old Maddi was convicted of murdering an off duty police officer. He must choose between lethal injection, electrocution, or a firing squad, the same method used earlier this month for the nation's first execution by bullets in fifteen years. If he does not decide by March twenty eighth, the electric chair will be used. Meanwhile, the court has postponed the execution of Stephen Bixby, convicted of killing two officers in a two thousand three land dispute. A judge must first rule on his mental competence. A psychologist says Bixby understands his death sentence, but also believes blood found on his clothes the night of the killings contains the debasa of Jesus Christ. Three other inmates have been executed in the States since September, all by lethal injection. A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced for his role in a series of high profile art and memorabilia thefts that spanned over two decades. With more Here's Sidney Sunder of Crime Online.
