Three from Hall on death row

ATLANTA - Stephen Anthony Mobley, who came within hours of being executed Monday, is not the only Hall County killer on Georgia's death row.

There are two others also awaiting exeuction.

David Scott Franks was convicted in 1998 of killing a Gainesville woman in a two-day crime spree that also left her husband and another man dead in west Georgia.

Scotty Morrow is also on death row - convicted three years ago of the murders of his girlfriend and another woman.

Also, among the 123 people on Georgia's death row is Timothy Woodrow Pruitt who was convicted of murder in Lumpkin County in 1996.

Mobley was granted a stay Monday afternoon about 4:30, just two-and-a-half hours before he was to be put to death by lethal injection for the 1991 robbery-murder of an Oakwood pizza store manager. The two judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who issued the stay did not give a reason.

Officials with the Georgia Department of Corrections said Monday the stay could be lifted at any time.
