Execution date set for man convicted of killing 2 real estate agents near Atlanta in 2003
The state says DNA, ballistics and bank records link Humphreys to the 2003 killings of two real estate agents.
- Georgia prison officials plan to execute Stacey Humphreys on September 16 at 7 p.m. at the state prison near Jackson for the 2003 murder of two real estate agents in Atlanta suburbs.
- On November 3, 2003, Humphreys entered a sales office in Powder Springs, a suburb 32 kilometers northwest of Atlanta, forced victims to provide bank PINs, and stole more than $3,000 from their accounts before fleeing.
- Alleged conflicts of interest involving two members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles led Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney to order Kimberly McCoy to recuse herself in March, though he found Wayne Bennett had no such conflict.
- Judge McBurney recently denied a request to appoint a substitute board member, preventing a full five-member clemency panel, while Humphreys' legal team filed a pending petition with the U.S. Supreme Court following last December's execution delay.
- If carried out, Humphreys would be the first person executed in Georgia this year, as the state has not conducted an execution since March 2024, with the death penalty tied up in broader pandemic-related litigation.
