00:00The execution of a Dorchester County man is set to proceed on Friday after a federal court denied his request for injunction.
00:07Marion Bowman is facing the death penalty for his role in a 2001 murder.
00:12He was convicted of shooting a friend whose burned body was found in the trunk of her burned-out car in Dorchester County.
00:18Bowman requested the execution be halted so that his lawyers could get more information about the drug used for lethal injection.
00:26The last time the drug was used on a prisoner, two doses ended up being used.
00:30Prison officials have not said why that prisoner needed a second dose.
00:34The state has said that Bowman could pick another method of execution if he's concerned about the drug.
