Soon after his conviction, Jeffrey Motts began writing to the South Carolina Supreme Court asking to forgo all appeals and be put to death. In April, the state Supreme Court, having found him mentally competent to make the decision to die, granted his wish. In his last words, he apologized to the families of his three victims and his own family and warned children away from drugs. "I was the child everyone wanted their children around until I got on drugs," Motts said. "Drugs will destroy your life." May he rest in peace.
