Fox News: South Carolina death row inmate wants to delay execution, says co-defendant lied about not having plea deal
Freddie Eugene Owens, a South Carolina death row inmate, requests a delay in his execution scheduled for September 20, citing new evidence about his co-defendant's testimony regarding a plea deal. Owens contends that this information could potentially alter the jury's perception of his guilt.
In addition, Owens' legal team raises concerns about the visibility of an electronic stun device he wore during the trial, arguing that the judge failed to adequately address its impact on the fairness of the proceedings. South Carolina has not executed anyone since 2011 due to issues obtaining lethal injection drugs.
