Double killer on Death Row asks for massive final meal of beef brisket, bacon double cheeseburger, ice cream and more Stacey Humphries faces the death penalty after killing two real estate agents in Georgia in 2003 - Bookmark A man sentenced to death for a double murder in Georgia asked for a massive final meal before he faces execution by lethal injection next week. Stacey Humphreys, 53, who was convicted of malice murder in the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cynthia “Cyndi” Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown, is set to receive a lethal injection at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson on Wednesday. In November 2003, Humphreys entered a real estate sales office near Atlanta and forced two female real estate agents to strip naked and give him their bank PINs. He fatally shot both women before taking their driver’s licenses and credit cards. Humphreys requested a final meal of barbecue beef brisket, pork ribs, a bacon double cheeseburger, french fries, buffalo wings and a meat lovers pan pizza. He also asked for butter pecan ice cream, peach ice cream and two caffeine-free sodas, the Georgia Department of Corrections said. Death row prisoners in some states have a limited budget for their last meals. In Oklahoma, there is a $25 spending limit, while in Florida the budget is $40 and all the food must be available locally, according to The Marshall Project. It was not immediately clear if Georgia has similar policies. The Independent has contacted the Georgia Department of Corrections for more information. If the execution is carried out, Humphreys will be the first prisoner to be put to death in Georgia since 2025. His execution has already been delayed repeatedly — and just weeks ago his lawyers filed a motion seeking a new sentencing trial in his case, claiming juror misconduct. Humphreys’ lawyer alleged in a motion filed Friday that one juror lied during jury selection to get a seat on the jury, the Associated Press reported. His lawyer says that once that juror was selected “and long before evidence had closed, she made it clear that she would consider no option other than a death sentence.” During his sentencing deliberations, the jury was deadlocked — and at one point the 11 other jurors voted against the execution, his lawyer claims. His lawyer claimed that the juror “invoked her prior victim experience” that she allegedly hid during jury selection “to implore her fellow jurors to change their life votes to death.” The juror “deliberately misled the other jurors about the consequences of their deadlock — suggesting that unless they could be unanimous, Mr. Humphreys would walk free,” Humphrey’s lawyer claims. Georgia law required the judge to dismiss the jury and impose a life sentence if jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict, according to the motion. “Crucially, she lied to this Court a second time: she concealed the intractable nature of the jury’s deadlock as to sentence,” Humphreys’ lawyer said. “Had this Court been told the truth — that the jurors always were and always would be irreconcilably deadlocked as to the correct sentence, rather than merely ‘currently unable to agree’ as the juror led this Court to believe — then Georgia law required this Court to impose a life sentence.” The juror allegedly “bullied and insulted the other jurors and eventually refused to deliberate altogether, retreating to the corner to do yoga,” the motion says. The other jurors eventually agreed with her after falsely being told there was no other option except the death penalty, according to the motion. Humphreys’ lawyer claims that if not for that juror’s “deliberate deceit,” he would be serving a life sentence instead of facing execution. The motion asks for a new sentencing trial. It was not immediately clear if the motion would cancel or delay the execution. The state has executed 76 men and one woman since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. If executed, Humphreys will become the 55th inmate put to death by lethal injection in the state.
