Georgia Set to Execute Stacey Humphreys | Greenville News

Georgia prepares to carry out the first execution of 2024 on September 16th, targeting Stacey Humphreys — convicted for the 2003 murders of two Atlanta-area real estate agents. Originally slated for last December, the date was delayed after his lawyers exposed conflicts among members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles — one a victim advocate, the other a sheriff involved in security during his trial. A judge ruled one member conflicted and must recuse, but left the other’s eligibility intact — leaving the governor and parole board to appoint a replacement. Humphreys’ team appealed both state and federal courts, with the U.S. Supreme Court still reviewing the case. They’re demanding a pause until a neutral clemency board is seated. The killings followed a botched robbery: Humphreys stole $3,000 from the victims’ accounts, fled to Wisconsin, and was caught after a high-speed chase — with damning DNA and ballistic evidence tying him to the crime.
