Alabama Man Cuts Himself With Razor Before Being Executed for 1993 Murder

Friday, May 08, 2009

COLUMBIA, S.C. —  An Alabama man convicted of killing a police officer has been executed in South Carolina, after cutting himself with a razor Friday.

Thomas Treshawn Ivey was put to death by lethal injection and pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. Friday in the state's death chamber in Columbia. The 34-year-old made no final statement.

Prison officials said Ivey removed a blade from a disposable razor earlier and suffered non-life-threatening wounds when he cut himself on the neck. They strapped him to a chair, until he was strapped down for the lethal injection.

Ivey had been awaiting execution since 1995, when he was convicted of killing Tommy Harrison. Prosecutors said Ivey shot the 38-year-old Orangeburg police sergeant in 1993 after trying to pass a bad check.

Ivey also had been sentenced to death for killing a South Carolina businessman several days before killing Harrison.

Ivey is the 42nd person executed in South Carolina since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 and the 283rd in the state's history.

i am for the death penalty...however it should be changed to punish people who commit murder in EXACTLY the same way as their victims. And Televise that shit...it'd serve as a deterant for future murderers and rapists.
