Owens was convicted in the murder of 41-year-old store clerk Irene Graves during an armed robbery in Greenville County, South Carolina.

Cole was sentenced to death for the 1994 slaying of 18-year-old Florida State University student John Edwards. He was also ordered to life in prison for the rape, kidnapping and robbery of John's 21-year-old sister, Pam Edwards.

The State Supreme Court sent the execution notice to the state's prison director on August 23, permitting him four Fridays by law to execute Owens.
