Ward Brockman is a death row inmate in
the state of Georgia. He was born November 1971. He was convicted and sentenced in June 1990.
Crime
On the night of June 26, 1990,
Brockman's accomplices, Quenton Lewis, Larry Moore, and Ronald
Mathis, came to the apartment in Phenix City, Alabama, where Brockman
was staying with his girlfriend. Brockman and his accomplices made
plans to commit several armed robberies in order to obtain enough
money to pay the bond to secure the release from jail of Lewis's
brother and a friend. A few days earlier, Brockman had stolen a black
Chevrolet Camaro IROC–Z T–Top from a car lot in Columbus and
replaced the dealer's tag with a Florida license tag, and he
possessed a .38 revolver that belonged to his girlfriend and that he
had previously used to commit an armed robbery.
On the following day, June 27, Brockman and his accomplices also obtained a .22 pistol and a twelve-gauge sawed-off shotgun to use in the planned robberies. After obtaining the guns, they went to a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant to commit armed robbery against the manager when she left to make a bank deposit, but they apparently “missed” her exit from the restaurant. Then Brockman and the others drove to the Premium Oil gas station that the victim, Billy Lynn, managed, because Moore and Mathis, who were familiar with the neighborhood, believed that he carried “large amounts of money.” Brockman made certain that Lynn was at the station and then dropped off Moore and Mathis a short distance away, because they feared that Lynn would recognize them. Brockman drove by the full-service station a couple of times until he found the lot empty, pulled in, and parked at approximately 5:30 p.m. When the victim approached and asked if he could help Brockman, Brockman “pulled the [.38],” “clicked it back,” and told Lynn, “Give me all the money.” Lynn raised his arms out to his side and told Brockman, “You got it.” Brockman asked for the money again. Again Lynn said, “You got it,” but he made no attempt to hand Brockman any money. According to Brockman, Lynn “had a grin on his face,” and, at this point, he knew that Lynn was not going to give him the money. Brockman told Lynn, “No, you got it.” Then he shot Lynn once in the abdomen, killing him.
