Georgia's execution of Stacey Humphreys is delayed amid legal battle over unmet pandemic-era inmate rights.
Lawyers for Stacey Humphreys, a Georgia man set for execution on December 17, argue a pandemic-era agreement requiring full prison visitation and widespread vaccine access should block the execution, claiming those conditions remain unmet despite the end of the state’s judicial emergency in June 2021.
They say the agreement, upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court, protects inmates whose appeals were denied during the emergency, and executing Humphreys now would violate due process and equal protection rights.
State attorneys dispute this, saying Humphreys is not covered because his appeal was denied after the emergency ended and that his legal team has not faced preparation barriers.
A federal judge is set to hear arguments, with a prior ruling finding the vaccine condition unfulfilled—currently under review by the Georgia Supreme Court.
