Georgia sets execution date for man convicted of killing two real estate agents in 2003
Stacey Humphreys faces execution after appeals over juror misconduct and fair trial claims were rejected, marking Georgia's first execution of 2025.
- The Georgia Department of Corrections scheduled Stacey Humphreys for execution at 7 p.m. on Dec. 17; he would be Georgia's first execution this year.
- Humphreys was convicted of malice murder in the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown after entering a Powder Springs sales office on Nov. 3, 2003.
- Police say Stacey Humphreys took the victims' driver's licenses and bank and credit cards, withdrew more than $3,000, and was arrested in Wisconsin after a high-speed chase.
- State and federal courts found the juror-misconduct claim procedurally barred, blocking relief, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal in October, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissenting.
- Humphreys' lawyers declined to comment Wednesday on his execution date, Georgia Department of Corrections says it uses pentobarbital, and the story corrects the date to Dec. 17 later this month.
