73% Informative
Freddie Owens is set to die at 6 p.m. Friday at a Columbia prison for the killing of a Greenville convenience store clerk in 1997 .
Owens ' lawyers filed a sworn statement from the friend and co-defendant, Steven Golden , late Wednesday to try to stop South Carolina from carrying out the execution.
Golden testified at Owens ' trial that he had a secret deal with prosecutors that he never told the jury about.
Golden said he blamed Owens because he was high on cocaine and police put pressure on him.
