Columbia, SC (AP) – After the US Supreme Court rejected the final appeal of a prisoner in South Carolina, he decided not to ask for the governor for reconciliation, stating himself.
Marion Bauman, Jr., 44, is scheduled to die on Friday night with a deadly injection for murder of 2001 of a friend found dead in her burning car.
Around noon Tuesday, the judges, without comment, refused to stop Bauman’s execution until the court could hear more arguments as to whether his court lawyer had too much sympathy for the white victim to put energetic defense was rejected without comment.
Five hours later, Bauman’s lawyer issued a statement stating that he would not request reconciliation from governor Henry McMaster.
“Marion has steadily maintained his innocence from the murder of Kanda Martin, but he has already spent more than half of his life in death. He cannot, with a pure conscience, ask for the alleged mercy that he would require him to spend the rest of his life in prison for a crime he did not commit, “writes lawyer Lindsay van.

No governor in the previous 45 executions in South Carolina, as the death penalty was restored in 1976. He did not provide mercy and reduced the death sentence to life imprisonment without suspended release in the modern era of the death penalty.
Bowman will be the third black man to be executed in South Carolina after four months after the state restarted his death after a 13-year pause, as prison staff could not receive lethal injection drugs.
He is expected to die on 6:00 pm Friday with one dose of Pentobarbital at the Shiroka River Correctional Institution in Colombia.
“After more than two decades of fighting a broken system that failed it at every stage, Marion’s decision is a powerful refusal to legitimize an unfair process that has already stolen so much of his life,” Van said.
Bauman was convicted of murder in the murder of 21-year-old Kanda Martin in 2001. He maintained his innocence after his arrest and said he had refused an agreement on a legal basis guaranteeing a life sentence as he did not.
Most of the evidence against Bauman in his process was the testimony of friends and family members. Many of them have been offered transactions to reduce time in prison for related crimes or have been charged.
A friend said Bauman was angry because Martin owes him money. A second testimony Bauman believed that Martin was dressed in a recording device to arrest him on charges.
Bauman said he was selling drugs from Martin, and sometimes when there was no money, they would have sex.
Part of Bowman’s final appeal was that he did not receive energetic protection because his lawyer was a racist and worried what a jury in 2002 South Carolina would think of a black man and a white woman in a relationship.
The lawyer “came to prison and said,” Son, you must plead guilty. You are accused of killing a white girl, and you and your family are black, “Bowman writes.

The South Carolina Supreme Court also dismissed Bowman’s complaint, calling it “mercilessly” and comments from a Bowman court lawyer suggest that he is further sympathetic to the victim, they have been taken out of context.
Bowman’s attorneys also challenged the South Carolina Shield Act, saying he is not fair to prisoners as he launches so little information about the medicine used to kill prisoners and execution procedures.
Anesthesiologist told Bauman’s attorneys that he was afraid of the lethal protocols for injection of South Carolina did not take into account the weight of Bowman, referred to as 389 pounds (176 kilograms) in prison records. It can be difficult to get the right IV in a blood vessel and to determine the dose of drugs needed in people with obese.
State lawyers replied that obese people receive IV to do surgery and other procedures thousands of times a day.
The US Civic Freedom Union filed a lawsuit against South Carolina this week, saying that the Privacy Act was not fair, since before last year, governments released a lot of information on the type of rope type used by the tension used by the electric chair.
South Carolina’s law allows prisoners to choose between a new and so far unused launch unit, an electric chair and a deadly injection.
The two prisoners performed after the restart of the Death Camera – Freddie Owens on September 20 and Richard Moore on November 1 – chose a deadly injection.
