Death row inmate orders final meal of BBQ brisket, ribs, burger, wings, French fries, pizza, soda and ice cream

A Georgia death row inmate requested a calorie-heavy array of barbecue and fast-food staples to be his final meal ahead of his execution.

Stacey Humphreys, 52, is set to be killed by lethal injection next Wednesday for the 2003 murders of real estate agents Cyndi Williams, 33, and Lori Brown, 21.

Humphreys was sentenced to death after being found guilty of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and kidnapping with bodily injury.

But before he is executed, Humphreys has asked to indulge in a gluttonous array of his favorite greasy comfort dishes, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.

State officials revealed his last meal request included barbecue beef brisket, pork ribs, a bacon double cheeseburger, French fries, coleslaw, cornbread, buffalo wings and a meat lovers pan pizza.

Humphreys will wash down his spread with two lemon-lime sodas.

For a possible dessert, should he choose to order the meal in that way, the convicted killer asked for vanilla ice cream.

The convicted killer also asked for vanilla ice cream ahead of his execution, which is scheduled for next Wednesday

Humphreys’ execution is scheduled for next Wednesday, December 17 at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson.

The 52-year-old man was found guilty of his crimes in September 2007 by a jury trial and subsequently sentenced to death.

Humphreys’ murders happened on November 3, 2003, while he was already a convicted felon still on parole.

After entering a home construction company’s sales office, Humphreys spotted Williams. He used a stolen gun to force her to strip naked and reveal her ATM card information.

Humphreys then tied Williams’ underwear so tightly around her neck that her tongue was sticking out of her mouth, which had turned purple.

As he choked Williams, Humphreys made her get down on her hands and knees to move into Brown’s office.

He pressed his gun into Williams’ back, placed a bag of balloons between the firearm and her body to muffle the sound and fired a shot into her back and then through her head.

After Brown returned to her office, Humphreys also attacked and choked her.

Like Williams, Humphreys forced Brown to undress and reveal her bank details.

He then made her kneel with her head facing the floor and fired a gunshot through her head, using a bag of balloons and Brown’s own folded blouse as a muffler.

Humphreys then stole both women’s driver’s licenses, as well as their ATM and credit cards before leaving.

He was arrested by police in Wisconsin days later after skipping a planned meeting with his parole officer.

Law enforcement found the murder weapon – a Ruger 9-millimeter pistol – in the rental car Humphreys was in.

Swabs taken from the gun showed Williams’ DNA on it, while a stain on the driver’s side of Humphreys’ vehicle matched Brown.

He told police that he did not remember committing the crimes. However, Humphreys also said he understood why he was fleeing.

‘I know I did it,’ he allegedly told police. ‘I know it just as well as I know my own name.’

He also claimed to have recently taken out some high-interest ‘payday’ loans and that he had gotten ‘over [his] head with that stinking truck.’

Humphreys was indicted by a Cobb County Grand Jury in 2004 and found guilty a little more than three years later.

This month, Humphreys’ attorney argued that executing him next week would violate his due process or equal protection rights.

The reasoning behind that was a pandemic-era agreement that had paused executions and was still being used to delay the fate of some death row inmates.

However, the deal only applied only to those whose requests for an appeal rehearing was rejected by the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals while a judicial emergency related to the pandemic existed.

According to Georgia officials, the state has executed 76 men and one woman since the US Supreme Court brought back the death penalty in 1976

That emergency ended in June 2021 and Humphreys’ rehearing request was denied in October 2024.

Humphreys has asked to sit upright or stand while he is executed by lethal injection.

His attorneys said that lying flat could cause him breathing difficulties brought on by myriad health problems, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

One day before his scheduled execution, Georgia’s Board of Pardons and Paroles will meet to hear arguments for and against clemency for Humphreys.

His death sentence could still be commuted to a life sentence with or without the possibility of parole.

A stay could be issued or clemency could be denied, as well.

Georgia has executed 76 men and one woman since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976.

In 2025 so far, 46 prisoners have been executed in the United States.
