The US Supreme Court dismissed the prisoner’s complaint 1 day before the execution – Daily Gazette South Carolina

Columbia – The highest court of the nation refused a prisoner’s request to stop his execution on Thursday, clearing the way for him to face the House of Death.

44 -year -old Marion Bauman will die through a deadly injection on 6:00 PM Friday. He was sentenced in 2002 for shooting Orangeburg’s mother to death, and then filled her body in the trunk of her car and lit it on fire.

Shortly after the Supreme Court ruling, the Federal Court of Appeal denied his request to know more about the drugs that would kill him, sounding the federal judge’s decision earlier this week.

In his appeal to the Supreme Court, Bauman’s lawyers claim that his lawyer during the trial he founded his arguments as “disgusting racial stereotypes” for Bowman, who is black, and his victim, which is white.

Bauman’s lawyers say his original defense team referred to Kandy Martin, the Bauman woman was convicted of murder as a “little white girl” while calling Bowman a man, even though he was more than she was.

The appeal also claims that the original Bowman lawyer made comments stating that there was no reason for Bauman to be alone with Martin, except to kill her, based on what his current lawyers claim to be a racial stereotype.

These quotes were removed from the context, the lawyers of the Director of the Correction Ministry Brian Sterling argued in response. If Bauman had a problem with his lawyer, he had more than 20 years to bring that, the answer continued.

In an order for two sentences on Thursday, the US Supreme Court agreed with the state’s arguments. No judges were noted as disagree.

Following the decision of the federal Court of Appeal, the only remaining way to stop Bauman’s execution will be the governor Henry McMaster to give him more power. This is unlikely, given that McMaster, a former prosecutor, has refused requests for a pardon for the last two prisoners.
