Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah , 46 , is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Friday .

He was convicted of armed robbery and murder of a store cashier in 1997 when he was 19 years old .

He has long argued that he did not shoot her, and the state’s key witness alleged in an affidavit last month that he made false remarks at the instruction of prosecutors during the trial.

Prosecutors accused of failing to disclose this “secret deal”.

Only 22 people have been executed for murders they did not directly commit, where they were considered accomplices or were present during the incident.

Allah’s team has argued that a death sentence should not be applied to a defendant who “did not kill or intend to kill” South Carolina had an unofficial pause on executions for more than a decade because its supply of lethal injection drugs dried up and pharmaceutical corporations refused to publicly supply more.
