On Thursday night, an American citizen of the United States will run in Alabama after withdrawing their appeals, saying that he was guilty of raping and killing a woman in 2010, Nan reports.
The convict said he did not want to continue “wasting everyone's time” and money.
James Osgood, 55, will be executed by lethal injection at 6 PM CDT at the William Holman correctional center in Atmore, Alabama.
This will make him join approximately one in 10 people in the death corridor throughout the United States who have requested their own executions.
A jury condemned Osgood of Capital Murder for the murder of Tracy Lynn Brown in Chilton County.
The prosecutors said Osgood cut Brown's throat after he and his girlfriend sexually assaulted her.
Osgood told Associated Press that he wanted to apologize to Brown's family and dropped his appeals because “I am guilty of murder.”
In a letter to his lawyer who explains his decision to find an execution date, he wrote that he was tired and that he no longer felt he was “even existing.”
“I firmly believe in, as I said in court, an eye for one eye, a tooth for a tooth. I gave myself a life, so mine was lost.
“I don't believe in sitting here and wasting everyone's time and everyone's money,” Osgood told the AP.
Brown was found dead at home on October 23, 2010.
The prosecutors said Osgood admitted to the police that he and his girlfriend sexually attacked Brown and forced her to perform sexual acts.
This, they said, was after discussing how they had fantasies about the kidnapping and torture of someone.
Then he cut his throat. His girlfriend, who was Brown's cousin, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
“I can't imagine anyone to do that to someone, even his worst enemy.
“I don't know what kind of mind that kind of thought has,” said Jackie Wileman, Madrastra de Brown, to the Judge of the Osgood Judgment in 2014.
When delivering the death sentence, the judge pointed out that Osgood had a difficult childhood that included sexual abuse, abandonment and an attempt of suicide.
The judge, however, also said that it was Osgood who cut Brown's neck and stabbed her as she begged the couple not to hurt her.
Osgood said last week that he regretted all the “pain and suffering” that Brown's family had caused and his.
“I would like to tell the victim's family, I apologize,” said Osgood.
“I'm not going to apologize because I know they can't give it, only God can give forgiveness,” he said.
