- Stephen Stanko, age 57, was executed by lethal injection on June 13 in South Carolina for two separate murders committed in April 2005.
- After federal courts denied his final appeals, Stanko was executed for the murders he committed in Georgetown and Horry counties, including strangling his girlfriend and shooting a friend.
- Before execution, Stanko apologized to the victims' families, described himself beyond his crimes, and requested not to be judged solely for the worst day of his life.
- The execution began with the administration of two doses of pentobarbital and ended with Stanko pronounced dead 28 minutes later at 6:34 p.m., witnessed by family members and legal counsel.
- Stanko's death marked South Carolina's sixth execution in nine months after a 13-year pause due to drug procurement issues, reflecting the state's resumed capital punishment activities.
