Arrr, matey! A scallywag in South Carolina be fixin' to dance with Davy Jones, makin' him the fifth soul to meet the grim reaper since the state took a break longer than a lazy sea turtle! Aye, time be flyin' for the gallows, I say!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round fer a tale from the fair state of South Carolina, where the gallows be creakin' back to life after a 13-year slumber! Yarr, on April 11, one Mikal Mahdi, a scallywag convicted of dastardly deeds, be slated to meet his maker at the hour of six. Aye, he can choose his fate: lethal injection, the electric chair, or a good ol’ firing squad—though if he don’t decide by March 28, it be the chair for him!Just recently, a pirate named Brad Sigmon faced the firing squad, makin’ waves as the first in 15 years to meet such a fate! So far, four scurvy knaves have danced with the reaper since the executions resumed in September, with Mahdi bein’ the next in line for a proper send-off. Yet another scallywag, Steven Bixby, be holdin' off his own demise until a judge can figure out if he still has his wits about him—claimin' the blood on his rags belongs to none other than Jesus Christ himself!
Mahdi, a troubled lad from the start, has seen more mischief than a sea rat in a treasure chest. From stealings and shootings to dangerous escapades behind bars, he be a right ruckus! The good judge, Clifton Newman, may not have much faith in the gallows, but he surely shared tales of Mahdi's dark past. So, as South Carolina prepares to paint the town red with blood this April, we be wonderin’ if the winds of fate be blowin’ favorably fer this rogue! Yarrr!
