Arrr, a scallywag in South Carolina found himself at the gallows, but left the choice of his grim fate to his landlubber lawyer! Instead o' the cracklin' chair or a volley o' cannon fire, the swab chose a prickly potion. Talk about lettin' the cat decide the cream, eh?
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale from the high seas o' South Carolina, where one scallywag named Freddie Owens found himself at the mercy o' the court, faced with the grim choice o' his execution method. Instead o' makin' the fateful pick himself, he passed the buck to his lawyer, who, with great reluctance, chose the lethal injection, lest the electric chair be his doom!Freddie, a man of faith, declared that choosin' his method would be akin to takin' the helm o' his own death ship, which he deemed a sin! Set to meet his maker on September 20 for a decades-old crime, it be the first execution in the state in more than 13 years, thanks to a pesky shortage o' lethal drugs.
His lawyer, bless her heart, was left wonderin' if the concoction would send him to Davy Jones' locker without makin' him squirm too much. Had she not acted, Freddie would’ve faced the electric chair—an outcome he’d rather avoid, like a pirate avoidin' a kraken!
With a troubled past and a co-defendant's testimony weighin' heavy, the clock ticks down, and Freddie’s fate hangs in the balance. Will the governor grant him clemency, or shall he swing from the gallows, a tale for the ages? Arrr, the suspense be thicker than the fog on a stormy sea!
