Washington: In America, a prisoner has been sentenced to death, which is now a matter of discussion all over the world. Two people were killed by 67 -year -old Brad Sigamon. Sigamon has been shot dead. This was the first such death sentence in 15 years. He himself chose this option for his death. At 6 pm on Friday evening, she was brought to the firing squad at South Carolina's broad river correctional institution. Sigmon was wearing black jumpsuit and crockes. White paper was applied on his chest and a red spot was made in the middle. Sigamon was tied tightly by sitting on a chair and tied to his arms and ankles. A basin was placed under it so that his blood could be collected.
At 6 pm, Sigmon's lawyer read his last words. At 6:03 pm, a jail employee went 15 feet away and removed a black curtain, behind which three executioners were standing. All three were executed jail guards. These executioners were standing with a rifle equipped with Vinchester 'Tap Urban' bullets. These bullets destroy that organ as soon as they enter the body. At 6:05 pm, the three executioners opened fire together. The paper on Sigamon's chest was shattered. He started bleeding from his chest and a handful -shaped hole. A small piece of heart was also seen near his wound. At 6:06 pm, a doctor entered the room with a stethoscope and declared him dead after hearing the heartbeat for two minutes.
Why was the death sentence given
Sigmon was the first person to be killed by the firing squad after 2010. Dozens of human rights activists gathered outside the jail to protest against the death penalty. Sigmon was sentenced to death in 2002, when he was beaten to death with his ex-girlfriend's parents David and Gladis Larke with a baseball bat. She then kidnapped her ex -girlfriend Rebecca Barber and opened fire on her, but she jumped from the moving car. Later, Sigmon said in his confession, “If it is not mine, no one can belong to it.” Barber had decided that she would not be present during Sigman's death sentence.
Why chose firing squad
In America, three options are given to a person who is sentenced to death. First death through injection, second electrical chair and third firing squad. Sigamon chose the firing squad. According to reports, Sigmon's lawyer says that Sigamon wanted an option that would kill him immediately. He saw the death of a man through injection, which took 20 minutes to die. At the same time, he was afraid of burning from the electric chair and was quite scary. That is why he opted for the bullet. In his last meal, Sigmon took four pieces of KFC, green beans, mashed potatoes, biscuits, cheesecakes and sweet iced tea.
