Moore, 59 , was pronounced dead at 6:24 p.m. Eastern Time .

Moore was convicted of killing a Spartanburg convenience store clerk in 1999 .

His last words were read by his lawyer of 10 years .

Moore is the second inmate executed in South Carolina since it resumed executions.

Moore's lawyers say his original attorneys did not analyze the crime scene carefully and left unchallenged prosecutors' contention that Moore , who came into the store unarmed, fired at a customer and that his intention from the start was a robbery.

No one else on South Carolina's death row started their crime unarmed and with no intention to kill, they say.

Moore's son and daughter say he remained engaged in their lives.
