Brandon Bernard used to be one of the people on death row that people wanted to save. He participated in the torturing and killing of two young people back in the year 1999. When he was convicted of the crime, he was only 18 years old. It took a lot of years before he was finally executed.
He was already 40 years old and a lot of people say that he lived a life of reform. He really made an effort to change his life and people were able to see that change. They were able to appreciate that change. His life had to be cut short as his sentence needed to be carried out.
Brandon Bernard was an American executed for the killing of Stacie Bagley and Todd on June 21, 1999. First, Todd and Stacie Bagley were robbed, and they were forced into the trunk of their vehicle before Christopher Vialva shot the couple. However, Brandon Bernard partook in the killing by burning Todd and Stacie Bagley after they had already been shot by Christopher Vialva. Bernard was convicted in 2000 and was sentenced to death. Since then, he has been on death row until he was executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020. Christopher Vialva, one of the accomplices who shot the couple, was executed in September 2020. The other teenagers who participated in the murder were handed different jail terms. Bernard's lawyers told the supreme court to stop the execution of Brandon Bernard since Todd and Stacie Bagley were already dead before Bernard burned them. However, the prosecution team argued that Stacie Bagley hadn't died until Bernard burned her.
