Georgia schedules sixth execution this year--
Friday, June 24, 2016

Georgia plans to execute John Wayne Conner on July 14 for a 1982
murder, making him the sixth person the state has put to death
in 2016 which is more than any year since the death penalty was
reinstated 40 years ago.
Conner, now 60, was sentenced to die for beating to death his
friend, J.T. White, after the drinking buddy said he wanted to
have sex with Conner’s girlfriend.
Conner, Beverly Bates and the 29-year-old White had spent an
evening in January 1982 at a party in Eastman, Ga. At the end of
the party, the group returned to Conner’s’ house but wanted to
keep drinking, even though it was past midnight.
So they set out for a neighbor’s house in hopes of getting a
ride to the liquor store for more bourbon. Unable to get a ride,
they walked back to the house, and White “made the statement
about he would like to go to bed with my girlfriend,” Conner
told investigators. “So I got mad and we got into a fight.”
Conner, 25 then, beat White with an almost-empty liquor bottle
and an oak tree stick he found nearby, leaving White for dead in
a drainage ditch. He then went home to wake Bates and tell her
they needed to leave town.
The last time Georgia carried out an execution was April 27 when
Daniel Anthony Lucas died by lethal injection 18 years and four
days after he murdered Steven Moss and his two children in their
Jones County home.
This year Georgia has also executed Joshua Bishop, Kenneth
Fults, Travis Hittson and Brandon Astor Jones.
The last time Georgia put to death as many as five people was
last year and before that it was in 1987.

Georgia set to execute 6th inmate this year--
July 11, 2016
ATLANTA - An execution scheduled for Thursday would be the sixth
in Georgia this year. That would be the most executions the
state has carried out in a calendar year since the death penalty
was reinstated four decades ago.
John Wayne Conner is scheduled to die at the state prison in
Jackson. He was convicted of beating his friend, J.T. White, to
death 34 years ago in Dodge County during an argument after a
night of drinking and marijuana use. Conner is now 60.
Georgia has executed five people in a calendar year twice --
last year and in 1987 -- since the death penalty was reinstated
in 1976.
There have been a total of 14 executions nationwide this year,
six in Texas, five in Georgia and one each in Alabama, Florida
and Missouri.

Georgia to Execute John Wayne Conner Thursday--
Conner would be the sixth Georgia inmate put to death this year
— the most since the death penalty was reinstated.
Wednesday, July 13, 2016
A Georgia death row inmate is set to become the sixth person put
to death by the state this year.
John Wayne Conner, 60, is scheduled to die by lethal injection
at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification
Prison in Jackson.
The execution would set a new record for Georgia. The state has
never executed more than five people in a year in the 40 years
since the death penalty was reinstated.
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles on Wednesday denied a
request for clemency by Conner's attorneys after hours of
hearings and deliberations.
Conner was sentenced to death in 1982 for the murder of James T.
White in Telfair County.
After returning home, Conner told his girlfriend he may have
killed White but that they needed to go back and make sure. The
girlfriend testified that when they went back to the scene of
the fight, she heard a thud, then Conner returned and told her
White was dead.
The couple were arrested the next day in Butts County.
A Superior Court judge in Butts County already had declined to
halt Conner's execution.
For his last meal, Conner has requested 10 pieces of fried
catfish, 10 hush puppies, two triple deluxe hamburgers with
bacon, two pints of vanilla ice cream and one sliced raw onion.

Georgia executes 6th inmate this year--
US Supreme Court denies last-minute appeal late Thursday
Thursday, July 14, 2016
JACKSON, Ga. - After a last-minute appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court was denied, Georgia executed a man who beat a friend to
death during an argument after a night of partying more than
three decades ago.
John Wayne Conner was executed at 12:29 a.m. Friday at the state
prison in Jackson by an injection of the barbiturate
pentobarbital.
Shortly before midnight, the Supreme Court denied a stay of
execution.
Conner was the sixth inmate executed in Georgia this year, the
most in a calendar year in the state since the death penalty was
reinstated nationwide in 1976. Georgia executed five inmates
last year and in 1987.
