Mikal Mahdi is scheduled to die April 11 for the 2004 killing of an off-duty police officer.

He ambushed him in the officer’s work shed and set his body on fire after shooting him at least eight times.

Mahdi chose to plead guilty to murder, so a judge, and not a jury, decided whether he got life in prison or death penalty.

He would be the fifth inmate South Carolina has executed in less than seven months .
