Execution of Timothy Donn Carr scheduled for July 19

ATLANTA - The state set a July 19 execution date for Timothy Don Carr, a Monroe County man convicted of fatally stabbing and beating a 17-year-old Warner Robins youth in 1992. <br> <br> The 32-year-old Carr is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 9 a.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison near Jackson. <br> <br> The Department of Corrections made the announcement Wednesday. <br> <br> Carr was convicted and sentenced to death in 1994 for the murder of 17-year-old Keith Patrick Young. Prosecutors say Carr cut Young&#39;s throat, stabbed him numerous times and bludgeoned him with a baseball bat. <br> <br> He also stole Young&#39;s wallet and car after they left a party with Carr&#39;s girlfriend, Melissa Leslie Burgeson. Burgeson, who allegedly goaded Carr into killing Young, also was convicted of murder. <br> <br> A judge in Butts County, where Carr had been on death row since his conviction, had overturned Carr&#39;s death sentence on grounds that his trial attorney was ineffective. <br> <br> But the Georgia Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in a unanimous ruling in March 2001.
