Texas Plans to Execute a Man Convicted in the Killings of 3 People; Georgia Execution Put on Hold
Texas plans to execute LeJames Norman after state courts rejected his bid for a stay in the 2005 killings of three people.
- On Wednesday, Texas officials are moving forward with the scheduled execution of LeJames Norman, while a Cobb County judge halted the separate execution of Stacey Ian Humphreys late Tuesday.
- After attempting to flee to Mexico, Norman was captured in Wisconsin following a high-speed chase; he was sentenced to death for the murders of three people in Edna, Texas.
- Humphreys had been scheduled to die at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison near Jackson for the 2003 double murder of real estate agents in Powder Springs, Georgia.
- Superior Court Judge Tyler Browning stayed Humphreys' execution to consider a petition under the new Survivor Justice Act, which allows resentencing for individuals who can tie their crimes to severe childhood abuse.
- While Texas has carried out five executions this year, Georgia has performed none, as Humphreys' legal team contested his death sentence citing Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's argument that the issue was "caught in a web of procedural barriers.
