Georgia to Execute Double Murderer: A Georgia man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and another woman and attempted to kill a third woman is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection today. Kate Brumback of the Associated Press reports that Scotty Garnell Morrow's attorneys are petitioning for a stay arguing that his sentence is unconstitutional because the sentencing jury did not specify which murder merited the death sentence. A 2018 Eleventh Circuit decision describes how on December 6, 1994, Morrow beat his ex-girlfriend Barbara Young and raped her twice. On December 29th, Morrow attacked Young, and her friends Tonya Woods and LaToya Horn in the kitchen of her home. After shooting Young in the stomach and Horn in the arm, he chased Young into the bedroom and smashed her head into a doorjamb before killing her with a shot to the head. He then killed Woods with a gunshot to the head and shot Horn in the face. He then cut the phone line and fled the scene. Horn survived with permanent injuries. At sentencing Morrow's attorneys argued that he was essentially a peaceful man who snapped due to a lifetime of rejection and emotional difficulty.
Update: Morrow received his lethal injection at last night at 9:26 pm. Two minutes later he yawned and went to sleep. Before he died he said he was sorry. The Atlanta Journal Constitution's story on the execution might bring some to tears.
