Georgia Set to Execute Stacey Humphreys | Augusta Georgia News

Georgia prepares to carry out the first death penalty execution of 2024 on September 16th, targeting Stacey Humphreys, convicted in the 2003 double murder of two Atlanta real estate agents. Originally slated for December, his execution was delayed after his legal team exposed conflicts among members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles — one a victim advocate, the other the jury’s overseeing sheriff. A judge ruled only one had a conflict, leaving the board’s decision on clemency in limbo. The defense is now pushing for a replacement board member before any hearing can proceed, with appeals still pending at the U.S. Supreme Court. Motive? Robbery — Humphreys stole IDs and bank cards, withdrawing $3,000, while on parole for a prior theft conviction and just 13 months out of prison.
