Death penalty sought in 3 killings
SUMTER — Prosecutors say a man who pleaded guilty to killing three Sumter County men stalked each of his victims, studying their houses while they were at work.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against 27-year-old Stephen Bryant in the killing spree that happened over a week in October 2004.
Prosecutor Dudley Saleeby Jr. said Bryant coldly killed each victim, shooting one in the back and face before stealing steaks he the man had just bought.
Saleeby said Bryant stole a ring off the finger of another victim after killing him in his home.
The Item of Sumter reported that Bryant's sentencing hearing continued Wednesday with a survivor testifying that Bryant shot him in the back as he fished at a bridge in Richland County. Clinton Brown, 56, said he has yet to fully recover.
