Summary:
Ivey and Vincent Neuman escaped from jail in Alabama, where Ivey was being held
on a murder charge. They stole a truck and drove to South Carolina, ending up
in Neuman's hometown of Columbia. There they kidnapped businessman Robert
Montgomery, who was working downtown. Ivey and Neuman drove Montgomery to rural
Orangeburg County. Neuman later testified that while there, Ivey shot
Montgomery in the head and chest, leaving his body to be discovered by hunters.
Two days later the pair visited a mall in Orangeburg, where a clerk accused
them of trying to pass a stolen check. Officer Tommy Harrison responded to the
call but let Ivey go when he realized Neuman was trying to use the check. Ivey
told police a handgun in his pocket fired accidentally as he walked away, and
the bullet ricocheted off the floor, hitting Harrison in the leg. Ivey said he
then panicked, shooting the officer five more times. Neuman testified against
Ivey and is serving a life sentence for murder in South Carolina.
The
Harrison family declined to speak after the execution. But Harrison’s
brother-in-law, T&D Staff Writer Richard Walker, attended the execution. “We agree with the sentence wholeheartedly. At this point, we
no longer have to worry about Ivey receiving another appeal or hearing to
review his case. Now, we can just focus on Tommy and Shaye (Harrison’s late
wife) and their memory and Mr. Montgomery,” Walker said.
