Brad Sigmon , 67 , was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend’s parents with a baseball bat and kidnapping their daughter at gunpoint.

He chose to be put to death by firing squad in February because he is concerned about the use of higher-than-normal dosage amounts and medical complications on previously executed inmates.

Sigmon is scheduled to be executed Friday at 6:00 p.m. local time.
