A man on death row who’s set to be executed by firing squad later on Friday (March 7) has made one final plea.

It was back in 2002 when Brad Sigmon was placed on death row after he was convicted of the double murder of his ex Rebecca Barbre’s parents in South Carolina.

The now 67-year-old beat her parents to death with a baseball bat while at their home in Greenville County, according to CBS.

He then kidnapped Rebecca at gunpoint, but she escaped from his car as he attempted to shoot her.

As well as a 30-year jail term for first-degree burglary, Sigmon received two death sentences and has been on death row ever since.

Sigmon has had numerous appeals to have his conviction overturned rejected, and his only hope is for Governor Henry McMaster to spare his life through an intervention in the coming hours

Sigmon’s attorney Bo King argues he should be spared as he was not given information about the lethal injection method when that was on the table.

“He wanted to know had the drugs expired, had they been diluted, had they spoiled? And none of those facts were disclosed despite his repeated requests,” King told WYFF4.

The inmate is making history as he’s the first US prisoner to be executed by firing squad in 15 years
