David Mark Hill
David Mark Hill (May 24, 1960 – June 6, 2008) was an American spree killer who killed three people in South Carolina. Life Hill married Jacqueline Hill in 1991. They had three children, one of whom required the use of a wheelchair after an accident. After that incident, Hill experienced depression, panic attacks and seizures. In 1996, Hill received notice that his wife was filing for divorce, and he was accused of sexually abusing his daughter, who was quadriplegic. On September 16 of that year, Hill went to a North Augusta social services office and killed Michael Gregory, Josie Curry and Jimmy Riddle, who all worked at the office. According to court documents, Hill killed Riddle because he was involved in the case that removed his children from his home, killed Gregory because he had seen him with the gun, and killed Curry "because she was black." At trial in 2000, Hill's wife testified that he had tried to kill himself at least three times. Hill was executed via letha ...

''The Herald'' is a daily morning newspaper published in Rock Hill, South Carolina, in the United States. Its coverage is York, Chester, and Lancaster counties. In 1990, the paper was bought by The McClatchy Company of Sacramento, California. After McClatchy claimed bankruptcy in 2020, the paper was bought by Chatham Asset Management. History The paper became a semi-weekly in 1893. In 1911, it was converted to a daily afternoon paper — except Sundays — and renamed ''The Evening Herald''. That name and production schedule would endure for 75 years through several ownership changes. In March 1985, the company was purchased by the News & Observer Co. of Raleigh, North Carolina, then owned by descendants of Josephus Daniels. The new owners changed the Saturday edition to morning and got rid of the ''Evening'' part of the name. In 1986, they launched a Sunday edition and two years later switched to morning publication seven days a week. In 1990, the Daniels family sold the pap ...

List Of People Executed In The United States In 2008
This is a list of people executed in the United States in 2008. Thirty-seven people were executed in the United States in 2008. Eighteen of them were in the state of Texas. One (James Earl Reed) was executed via electrocution. Executions were not carried out in the United States between September 2007 and April 2008, due to certiorari in '' Baze v. Rees'', which questioned the constitutionality of lethal injection. The U.S. Supreme Court stayed all executions for seven months until a decision was made, meaning executions did not begin until May, with none having taken place since that of Michael Wayne Richard the previous September.

Capital Punishment In The United States
In the United States, capital punishment is a legal penalty throughout the country at the federal level, in 27 states, and in American Samoa. It is also a legal penalty for some military offenses. Capital punishment has been abolished in 23 states and in the federal capital, Washington, D.C. Capital punishment is, in practice, only applied for aggravated murder. Although it is a legal penalty in 27 states, only 20 states have the ability to execute death sentences, with the other seven, as well as the federal government, being subject to different types of moratoriums. The existence of capital punishment in the United States can be traced to early colonial Virginia. However, the unique nature of capital punishment being removed and reinstated into law throughout American history at different points in time is related to and aligns with the United States' racial history and its enslavement then prejudice towards Black Americans''.''

Capital Punishment In South Carolina
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the U.S. state of South Carolina. Between 1718 and 2021, more than 680 people have been executed in South Carolina. After a nationwide capital punishment ban was overturned in 1976, South Carolina has executed 43 people. Since 2011, no one has been executed in the state due to pharmaceutical companies not wanting to sell the drugs needed for lethal injections. Lethal injection has been the legalized primary form of execution since 1995. Under the passage of Act 43 of 2021, executions are expected to resume with the electric chair as the primary form of execution. In March 2022, the South Carolina Department of Corrections announced they were ready to carry out executions by firing squad. Inmates will now have the choice to be executed via electrocution or firing squad; with electrocution being the primary method.

The Times And Democrat
''The Times and Democrat'' is a daily newspaper in Orangeburg, South Carolina. ''The Times and Democrat'' is owned by Lee Enterprises, a company based in Davenport, Iowa. It has a daily circulation of 13,395. History and origins ''The Times and Democrat'' traces its history to the October 1881 merger of ''The Orangeburg Democrat'' and ''The Orangeburg Times''. It also has ties to four other newspapers born in the aftermath of the American Civil War: ''The Southron'', ''The Tax-Payer'', ''The Edisto Clarion'' and ''The Orangeburg News and Times''. Like most newspapers of the South during Reconstruction, the Orangeburg publications were embroiled in political doctrines. The ''Orangeburg News'', for instance, was organized as a newspaper of the Democrats but later made the bold move of becoming a newspaper of the Republicans. Into this milieu came James L. Sims. The Charleston, South Carolina, native learned the printing trade at ''The Charleston Courier'' and subsequently purcha ...

Lethal Injection
Lethal injection is the practice of injecting one or more drugs into a person (typically a barbiturate, paralytic, and potassium solution) for the express purpose of causing rapid death. The main application for this procedure is capital punishment, but the term may also be applied in a broader sense to include euthanasia and other forms of suicide. The drugs cause the person to become unconscious, stops their breathing, and causes a heart arrhythmia, in that order. First developed in the United States, it has become a legal means of execution in Mainland China, Thailand (since 2003), Guatemala, Taiwan, the Maldives, Nigeria, and Vietnam, though Guatemala abolished the death penalty in civil cases in 2017 and has not conducted an execution since 2000 and the Maldives has never carried out an execution since its independence. Although Taiwan permits lethal injection as an execution method, no executions have been carried out in this manner; the same is true for Nigeria. Lethal ...
