佐治亚州监狱官员计划于9月16日晚7点，在杰克逊附近的州监狱对53岁的斯泰西·汉弗里斯（Stacey Humphreys）执行注射死刑1。汉弗里斯因在2003年恶意谋杀33岁的辛迪·威廉姆斯（Cyndi Williams）和21岁的洛丽·布朗（Lori Brown）两名房地产经纪人而被定罪1。他将成为今年佐治亚州首位被执行死刑的囚犯，该州上一次执行死刑是在2024年3月1。
2003年11月3日中午左右，汉弗里斯进入位于亚特兰大西北约32公里处波德斯普林斯（Powder Springs）郊区一处新建小区的样板房销售办公室1。他从两人的账户中提取了超过3000美元1。作案时，汉弗里斯正因1993年的一项重罪盗窃定罪处于假释期，距离其出狱仅过去13个月1。
汉弗里斯的律师曾以假释委员会成员存在利益冲突为由申请暂缓执行，但相关上诉均被驳回1。今年3月，富尔顿县高等法院法官罗伯特·麦克伯尼（Robert McBurney）裁定，假释委员会成员金伯利·麦考伊（Kimberly McCoy）因存在“重大利益冲突”必须回避1。此前，佐治亚州的死刑执行曾因与疫情相关的诉讼而一度停滞1。
Georgia prison officials have scheduled the execution of 53-year-old Stacey Humphreys for September 16 at 7 p.m. via lethal injection at a state prison near Jackson 1. Humphreys was convicted of malice murder for the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown, both real estate agents 1. He is set to become the first person executed in Georgia this year, following the state's last execution in March 2024 1.
The deadly incident occurred around midday on November 3, 2003, when Humphreys entered a sales office in a model home for a new subdivision in Powder Springs, a suburb located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Atlanta 1. During the crime, he withdrew more than $3,000 from the victims' accounts 1. At the time of the murders, Humphreys was on parole for a 1993 felony theft conviction, having been released from prison 13 months earlier 1.
Prior to the scheduled execution, Humphreys's legal team sought a stay of execution, arguing that a member of the parole board had a conflict of interest, but the appeals were ultimately denied 1. In March, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that board member Kimberly McCoy was required to recuse herself due to a "material conflict of interest" 1. The state's execution schedule had previously faced delays due to pandemic-related litigation 1.
