A Gwinnett County judge signed an execution order Monday, requesting a date between Feb. 25 and Mar. 4. Tuesday morning, Georgia Department of Corrections Commissioner Homer Bryson scheduled the execution for Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson.
Gissendaner’s legal team was granted a clemency hearing for Feb. 24. Her appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied in October 2014.
