US Supreme Court rejects likely final appeal of South Carolina inmate a day before his execution
- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Marion Bowman Jr.'s final appeal the day before his scheduled execution for a 2001 killing of a friend found dead in her burning car.
- Bowman maintained his innocence and refused a plea deal because he did not commit the crime.
- Bowman's appeal included claims that his trial attorney had too much sympathy for the victim and was concerned about racial perceptions.
- South Carolinians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty submitted nearly 10,000 petitions to the governor's office asking for the execution to be stopped.
