On April 12, 1978, Betty Gardner, a 33-year-old black woman, was sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered during a racially-motivated hate crime in St. Helena Island, South Carolina. Gardner had been hitchhiking when she was picked up by four white people: cousins John Arnold and John Plath, and their girlfriends, Cindy Sheets and Carol Ullman. After dropping Gardner off, Arnold suggested to the group that they kill her. Gardner was then sexually assaulted, strangled, beaten, and stabbed to death. After the murder, Arnold carved the letters "KKK" into her body.

has abstract	On April 12, 1978, Betty Gardner, a 33-year-old black woman, was sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered during a racially-motivated hate crime in St. Helena Island, South Carolina. Gardner had been hitchhiking when she was picked up by four white people: cousins John Arnold and John Plath, and their girlfriends, Cindy Sheets and Carol Ullman. After dropping Gardner off, Arnold suggested to the group that they kill her. Gardner was then sexually assaulted, strangled, beaten, and stabbed to death. After the murder, Arnold carved the letters "KKK" into her body. All of the perpetrators were captured at a later date. Sheets and Ullman were granted immunity after they turned state's evidence and testified against Arnold and Plath; who were ultimately convicted and sentenced to death. Both were executed in 1998 by lethal injection a few months apart. The case was notable as it marked a rare occasion in which two white people were executed for murdering a single black victim. (en)
