Overview
Richard Moore was executed by lethal injection in South Carolina for a 1999 convenience store shooting. Efforts for clemency included appeals from jurors and supporters citing rehabilitation and alleged trial unfairness. Governor McMaster denied the clemency request despite the case's complexities surrounding self-defense and lack of jury diversity. Moore's final words expressed remorse, and he is the second inmate executed since South Carolina resumed executions.
