A Georgia death row inmate has requested a greasy, calorie-laden feast for his last meal ahead of his scheduled execution next week.
Stacey Humphreys was scheduled to die by lethal injection the night of Dec. 17 at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison, after a judge earlier this week declined his request for a delay. His execution — for the 2003 murders of two real estate agents, 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown — will be the first in Georgia this year.
For his final feast, Humphreys — who is approximately 6-foot-3 and weighs 305 lbs. — has asked for full spread of comfort foods, including barbecue beef brisket, pork ribs, a bacon double cheeseburger, French fries, coleslaw, cornbread, buffalo wings, a meat lover’s pan pizza, and vanilla ice cream, all before washing it down with two lemon-lime sodas, according to a press release from the Georgia Department of Corrections.
Humphreys was handed his death sentence in 2003. According to prosecutors, he cornered Williams and Brown inside their company’s sales office, then forced them to strip naked and hand over their account PINs before shooting them both execution style. He was eventually caught following a high-speed chase with law enforcement through Wisconsin, prosecutors said. Upon capture, he told authorities he did not remember killing the women, but fled because he knew he did it.
Humphreys unsuccessfully argued his life should be spared due to an agreement reached during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it applies only to inmates whose requests for a rehearing of their appeals were denied by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals when a pandemic-related judicial emergency was in place.
