Georgia man convicted in woman’s killing to be executed

Marcus Ray Johnson is agreed to be scheduled to die at 7 p.m. Thurs.at the state jail in Jackson. The 50-year-old was convicted within the March 1994 rape & homicide of Angela Sizemore in Albany.

She wrote that Johnson continues to say he’s innocent even though “the facts of his guilt were and remain overwhelming”.

The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles is the only entity authorized to commute a death sentence.

Johnson’s attorney, Brian Kammer, is adamant his client did not kill Sizemore. Both were denied. In response to the denial, Kammer filed with the Georgia Supreme Court an application for Certificate of Probable Cause to Appeal, challenging the constitutionality of Johnson’s convictions and sentence of death.

A Georgia death-row inmate scheduled for execution on Thursday requested a six-pack of beer as his last meal and was turned down, prison officials said.

Sizemore’s body was found several hours later inside her SUV, which had been moved across town from where she had parked it before going into the bar, Fundamentals. She was stabbed 41 times.

A death row inmate’s last meal request for a six pack of beer has been denied. Johnson has admitted having consensual sex with Sizemore, then punching her in the nose and drawing blood because she later insisted on “snuggling”. He has repeatedly failed.

Investigators found a drop of blood on Johnson’s jacket.

Instead, he will be offered a standard institutional tray of baked fish, cheese grits, dry mixed beans, cole slaw, cornbread, cookies and fruit punch ahead of his execution set for Thursday night, officials said.

There were no DNA or fingerprints in Sizemore’s vehicle or on the murder weapon.
