ATLANTA Georgia plans to execute a man convicted of killing a friend after a night of partying more than three decades ago.

The inmate, who is now 60, was convicted of fatally beating his friend J.T. White during an argument after a night of drinking and marijuana use in January 1982.

Georgia executed five inmates last year and in 1987. Read More. |
