Despite the outcry, Moore was executed by the state on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em>CNN<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amp.cnn.com\/cnn\/2024\/10\/31\/us\/south-carolina-richard-moore-execution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moore was executed only one day <\/a>after the Supreme Court declined Moore’s request for a stay on the grounds that prosecutors created a racially exclusive all-white jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Moore requested clemency from South Carolina’s Republican Gov. Henry McMaster but McMaster denied the request, in keeping with comments he made in 2022 regarding Moore’s case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moore\u2019s son, Lyndall Moore, who was four at the time Moore killed James Mahoney, a Spartanville store clerk, said that his father should have received mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a human being <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/south-carolina-execution-richard-moore-clemency-af2562fc002871c3723532672fbc0c3c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who made mistakes<\/a>,\u201d Lyndall Moore said to the Associated Press. \u201cAnd this particular mistake led to the death of another human being. But his sentence is completely disproportionate to the actual crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a South Carolina Department of Corrections news conference on Nov. 1, Chrysti Shain, the department’s spokesperson, announced the 59-year-old Richard Moore’s last words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo the family of Mr. James Mahoney, I am deeply sorry for the pain and sorrow I caused you. To my children and granddaughters, I love you and I am so proud of you. Thank you for the joy you have brought to my life. To all of my family and friends, new and old, thank you for your love and support,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although McMaster eventually denied Moore’s request to have his sentence commuted into a life sentence, and told reporters on Oct. 30 that he was taking it into serious consideration, his comments about the case in 2022 seemed flippant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have no intention to commute a sentence. The jury made their decision,\u201d he told a reporter in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those comments worried Moore’s attorneys, who argued in court that McMaster \u201cwould have to renounce years of his own work\u201d while he was South Carolina’s Attorney General before becoming its Governor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, the state had not publicly clarified its \u201crace-neutral\u201d reasons for dropping the last two Black jurors from the pool during Moore’s trial, but in its opposition to Moore’s request, the State of South Carolina said they were removed because one woman tried to hide her criminal record and another person had a son who had been convicted of murder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the State of South Carolina argued that it was too late to make an argument regarding the race of jurors, partly because it had not been raised in earlier appeals, the state also pointed out that Moore’s counsel failed to make that argument in the original proceedings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to his attorneys, Moore chose to be executed via lethal injection, and with his execution, Moore joined over 1,600 people who have been executed since the United States reinstated the death penalty in 1976. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Death Penalty Information Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/id\/urn:aaid:sc:US:177331d3-cdae-42b7-bb4e-711bf362939d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">34% of all people executed since 1976 are Black<\/a>, which, per U.S. Census figures, is double the proportional population of Black people in America in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em>USA Today<\/em>, Moore’s legal team at Justice 360 believes this disproportionate figure nationally is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2024\/11\/01\/richard-moore-south-carolina-execution\/75997911007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">present in South Carolina’s justice system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho is executed versus who is allowed to live out their lives in prison appears to be based on no more than chance, race, or status,” the lawyers said. “It is intolerable that our State metes out the ultimate punishment in such a haphazard way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED CONTENT: <\/strong><a
