Freddie Owens is set to die by lethal injection later today for the killing of convenience store clerk Irene Graves in Greenville in 1997 during a robbery.
A South Carolina man's imminent execution has been thrown into chaos after a key witness said in a sworn statement that he lied in order to have him convicted.
Freddie Owens is set to die by lethal injection later today for the killing of convenience store clerk Irene Graves in Greenville in 1997 Attorney Gerald 'Bo' King said: 'South Carolina is on the verge of executing a man for a crime he did not commit. We will continue to advocate for Mr. Owens.' Those witnesses had been friends of Owens who said he had bragged to them about killing Graves. His former girlfriend also testified that he confessed to the killing.
Prosecutors argued that Golden's decision to U-turn on his story couldn't be trusted as he had now admitted to lying under oath, showing he can't be trusted.
