(AP) -- An anti-death penalty group has scheduled a vigil outside the prison where a man is set to be put to death by electrocution this evening. The Christian Action Council says it will have signs available for anyone wishing to participate before the 6 p.m. execution of James Earl Reed. Reed has been on South Carolina's death row since 1996 for the murders of his ex-girlfriend's parents. Reed represented himself during his trial, denying the killings despite a confession and arguing that no physical evidence placed him at the scene. Jurors found him guilty and decided he should die. Reed would be the first person electrocuted in South Carolina in more than four years. Most executions have been carried out by lethal injection.
