The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld the death penalty imposed against Stacey Ian Humphreys, who killed two Cobb County real estate agents.

Humphreys was convicted of the November 2003 execution-style slaying of Lori Brown and Cynthia Williams. Humphreys shot and killed the two women at the model home sales office of the Oakwind subdivision in west Cobb County. Both women worked for Morrison Homes, a builder in the subdivision.

Because of extensive pre-trial publicity, Humphreys was tried in Brunswick.
