American convicted murderer (1957-2025)
Brad Keith Sigmon (born November 12, 1957 - March 7, 2025) is an American convicted murderer who was sentenced to death for the 2001 double murder of his ex-girlfriend's parents in South Carolina. Sigmon was convicted of battering David and Gladys Larke, aged 62 and 59 respectively, to death with a baseball bat on April 27, 2001, merely a week after he and his ex-girlfriend broke up. Subsequently, he was given two death sentences. Because he had stolen from the Larkes on the day of the murders, he was also given a 30-year jail term for first-degree burglary. Sigmon, who has since been denied all his appeals, is currently on death row awaiting his execution at Broad River Correctional Institution. His execution is set to be carried out by firing squad on March 7, 2025.

I want my closing statement to be one of love and a calling to [his] fellow Christians to end the death penalty. An eye for an eye was used as justification to the jury for seeking the death penalty. Why? Because we no longer live under the Old Testament law but now live under the New Testament. [...] We are now under God's grace and mercy.
