Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan: Double Murderer Executed by Firing Squad. Why?

Brad Sigmon was sentenced to death in South Carolina for the double murder of his ex-girlfriend's parents, David and Gladys Larke. He confessed to killing both of them with a baseball bat, then attempted to kidnap his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Barbare, using a gun stolen from David Larke. Barbare jumped from a moving car and ran to escape Sigmon. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the crimes that led to the confession, conviction, and ultimate sentencing to death of Brad Sigmon, and how Sigmon's own protest over lethal injection caused him to be put to death by firing squad
