COBB COUNTY, GA — The execution for the man on death row for the murders of two Cobb County real estate agents will not happen on Wednesday as scheduled.

The state board of pardons and paroles cancels a clemency hearing for Stacey Humphreys planned for Tuesday.

It’s not clear if the hearing would be rescheduled within the execution window which expires December 24th. 

Humphreys was sentenced to death for the 2003 murders of Cindy Williams and Lori Brown.
