JACKSON - The state Department of Corrections continues preparations for the execution Tuesday night of condemned Oakwood killer Stephen Anthony Mobley.
Officials say Mobley has already ordered his final meal - requesting a steak, french fries, one quarter of butter pecan ice cream, one quart of chocolate chip ice cream, and two soft drinks.
The execution is scheduled at 7:05 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center in Jackson - a small town off I-75 between Atlanta and Macon.
Mobley is one of 112 men and one woman on death row in Georgia.
There have been 37b men executed in Georgia since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1973. If executed, Mobley will be the 15th inmate put to death by lethal injection.
Mobley was condemned to death for the 1991 robbery-murder of John Copeland Collins, an Oakwood pizza store manager he killed during a robbery.
On Friday, the state Board of Pardons and Paroles refused to commute his death sentence.
