Georgia execution of Stacey Humphreys

Overview

Georgia prison officials have scheduled the execution of Stacey Humphreys, 53, for September 16 via lethal injection. Humphreys was convicted for the 2003 murders of real estate agents Cyndi Williams and Lori Brown in suburban Atlanta.

The execution follows a period of slowed capital punishment in the state due to litigation regarding pandemic-era agreements. A previous execution date for Humphreys in December was halted after his legal team raised concerns regarding a “material conflict of interest” involving a member of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.

In recent legal developments, defense attorneys have sought a new trial, alleging juror misconduct and bias during the 2007 conviction proceedings. Prosecutors have dismissed these claims, and a judicial decision on the appeal is expected shortly. Humphreys has requested an extensive last meal consisting of various meats, pizza, and ice cream.
