USA - South Carolina. A Charleston County jury decided that William Dickerson should be put to death

A Charleston County jury decided that William Dickerson should be put to death for a March 2006 murder. Dickerson, 32, black, was found guilty last week of murder, kidnapping and criminal sexual assault. Authorities say he wrongly thought Gerard Roper, 29, black,  was the man he saw in a video having sex with his girlfriend. Authorities say Roper was tortured and sexually assaulted before he was strangled. Dickerson's father was serving a life term for an unrelated murder. He died behind bars a few years ago.
