💨 Abstract

A federal judge in Atlanta is set to rule by Thursday on whether to halt the execution of Stacey Humphreys, scheduled for next Wednesday. Humphreys, convicted of murdering two women in 2003, argues that an agreement made during the COVID-19 pandemic should delay his execution. His lawyers claim that the state is violating his constitutional rights by not applying the agreement, which sets conditions for resuming executions.
