Stephen Bryant, 27, was sentenced to death today for three murders he committed over the course of a week in 2004. He hung his head as a South Carolina Circuit Judge read that he was to be sentenced to life in prison for two of the murders and sentenced to death for the third.
Family members of Stephen Bryant’s victims were in the courtroom at the sentencing and many wept.
Prosecutors cite the fact that Stephen Bryant used his victims’ blood to write messages on the wall to say that he "has no soul." His defense attorneys said that Bryant was troubled from a childhood of abuse and the damaging effects of drugs.
