       A Gainesville man who sits on death row for the 1994 shooting
       deaths of his ex-girlfriend and her friend is set to be the
       first person executed in Georgia this year.
       State Attorney General Chris Carr announced Friday that Scotty
       Morrow is to be put to death by lethal injection on May 2 at the
       Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson.
       Morrow was sentenced to death for the Dec. 29, 1994, murders of
       Barbara Ann Young and her friend Tonya Woods. Young was once
       Morrow’s girlfriend, and Hall County prosecutors said he beat
       and sexually assaulted her in the weeks leading up to the
       killings.
       On the day of the murder, Morrow argued with Young over the
       phone, then went to her home armed with a handgun. Morrow
       entered the house and, after arguing with Woods, shot her in the
       abdomen, severing her spine, according to court records.
       Young fled to the bathroom but Morrow kicked in the door,
       smashed her head into a door frame, then killed her with a shot
       to her head, court records say. He returned to the kitchen and
       killed Woods by shooting her in the head at close range. Morrow
       also shot LaToya Horne, another woman in the house, in the face
       and arm, but she survived.
       
       Morrow was convicted of the crimes and sentenced to death by a
       Hall County jury in June 1999. Twelve years later, a state court
       judge threw out Morrow’s death sentence after finding his trial
       lawyers did a poor job of representing him. But the Georgia
       Supreme Court later reversed that decision and reinstated
       Morrow’s death sentence.
       Morrow’s federal appeals were exhausted in February, when the
       U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider them.
