Louis Truesdale Case

A convicted murderer who had professed his innocence in a string of appeals over 18 years made an apparent confession to killing a South Carolina teenager in a final statement read by his lawyer seconds before he was executed Friday.

Louis Truesdale, whose death sentence was overturned twice on appeal, apologized to the family of Rebecca Ann Eudy, including three of her brothers who witnessed the execution in the death chamber of Broad River state prison in the South Carolina capital Columbia.Truesdale was pronounced dead at 6:26 p.m. EST, 18 years to the day after he arrived on South Carolina’s death row and about an hour after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal challenging the state’s clemency procedure.
