Derrick Dearman, aged 35, is seeking death as a means to provide justice to the families of his victims. Despite initially contesting his sentence, he has been fighting for almost six years.
Dearman expressed that he has no desire to meet his demise but is willingly facing it as a means of providing closure and justice to the families of his victims. He was found guilty of taking the lives of five individuals.
Following the murders, he made a swift escape from the scene along with his girlfriend and an infant who resided in the same household.
According to his parents, their son’s long history of drug abuse is to blame for his actions. Dearman, on the other hand, stated that he initially fought to appeal his sentence for the sake of his family.
It is uncertain whether his request will be granted.
