Georgia paused Stacey Humphreys' Dec. 17 execution due to board conflicts; decision hinges on impartiality.
Georgia has paused the execution of Stacey Humphreys, scheduled for December 17, 2025, with the State Board of Pardons and Paroles issuing a suspension without explanation.
The clemency hearing was postponed indefinitely amid legal challenges over potential conflicts of interest involving two board members: Kimberly McCoy, a former victim advocate, and Wayne Bennett, a former sheriff.
Humphreys’ lawyers argue a fully impartial board is required, while the state maintains a quorum of three is sufficient.
The current death warrant remains valid through December 24, after which a new warrant would be needed.
The outcome hinges on whether the board can proceed with members under scrutiny.
