Atlanta, GA, September 15, 2026 —
A Georgia death row inmate is scheduled to appear before the State Board of Pardons and Paroles as he seeks clemency.
Stacey Humphreys, whose execution is scheduled for one day after the hearing, is making his case to the board.
Details regarding the specific crime for which Humphreys was convicted, the date of conviction, and the grounds for his clemency request were not provided in the available information. Similarly, the specific date of the scheduled execution was not detailed.
The State Board of Pardons and Paroles holds the authority to grant clemency, which can commute a death sentence to life imprisonment or another sentence.
The board’s decisions are often based on factors such as remorse, evidence of rehabilitation, and questions surrounding the original conviction or sentencing.
The outcome of this hearing will determine whether Humphreys’ execution proceeds as scheduled or if his sentence is commuted.
