South Carolina Executes Johnson for Trooper Killing
Richard Charles Johnson was executed by lethal injection for the 1965 killing of Trooper Bruce Smalls during a traffic stop on I-95 in Jasper County. Despite a confession from a former co-defendant, appeals failed and clemency was denied. The case centered on Connie Hess admitting she killed Smalls, a claim the court found unreliable, allowing the fatal sentence to proceed.
