Briley Piper - South Dakota - Scheduled Execution for the week of October 7 - 13, 2008.

Victims: Chester Allan Poage

The Crime: In April of 2000, Chester Allan Poage's body was found in Higgins Gulch west of Spearfish, stabbed and beaten. That's where more than a month earlier Elijah Page, Briley Piper and Darrel Hoadley took turns kicking him in the head 30 to 40 times. They stabbed him in the neck three times and pummeled him repeatedly with large rocks, making Poage beg for his life.

Piper -- who's from Anchorage, Alaska -- and Elijah Page of Athens, Texas, pleaded guilty to murdering Chester Allan Poage.

Then Circuit Judge Warren Johnson sentenced them to death by lethal injection.

A third man pleaded not guilty, was convicted at trial and sentenced to life in prison.

Page voluntarily ended his appeals and was put to death July 12th -- the first execution in South Dakota in 60 years.
