Derrick Dearman, a death row inmate in Alabama, has made a surprising request to the state to carry out his death sentence. Dearman, convicted of killing five people in a horrific attack in 2016, including a pregnant woman, expressed that he believes it is time for 'justice to be delivered' and sees his execution as the right thing to do.

Dearman's crime took place in Citronelle, Alabama, where he broke into a home and brutally attacked five occupants using various weapons, resulting in the deaths of Shannon Melissa Randall, Robert Lee Brown, Justin Kaleb Reed, Joseph Adam Turner, and Chelsea Marie Reed, who was pregnant. After the incident, Dearman fled the scene with a woman and an infant.
