At 6:01 p.m. Friday, in a crack of rifle shots, Mikal Mahdi was executed inside of the Broad River Road Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina. The convicted double murder let out a groaning yell as the bullets struck his chest, followed 80 seconds later by a deep guttural moan as the life seemed to leave him. He was pronounced dead around 6:05 p.m.“There was some agony in the cries,” said Jeffrey Collins with the Associated Press.
