BREAKING: Georgia executes a man convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend and another woman nearly 25 years ago.
FILE - This undated file photo made available by the Georgia Department of Correction shows Scotty Garnell Morrow, who is set to die Thursday, May 2, 2019. When Morrow killed his ex-girlfriend and her friend nearly 25 years ago, his actions were spontaneous and emotionally fueled and shouldn't be punished by death, his lawyers argue.
Morrow was convicted of fatally shooting ex-girlfriend Barbara Ann Young and her friend Tonya Woods at Young’s home in Gainesville in December 1994. Prosecutors said at trial that Morrow shot the two women and another woman when they turned him away as he tried to get Young to take him back. The third woman survived.
In a brief statement, the nation’s highest court gave no explanation for denying the request by attorneys for inmate Scotty Garnell Morrow. Scotty Garnell Morrow was scheduled to receive a lethal injection at 7 p.m. at the state prison in Jackson. Morrow was convicted of murder in the fatal shootings of his ex-girlfriend Barbara Ann Young and her friend Tonya Woods at Young’s Gainesville home in December 1994.
The Georgia Supreme Court declined Thursday afternoon to delay execution plans. The high court also declined to hear an appeal of a lower court’s ruling that had rejected Morrow’s challenge to his death sentence.
