Who do you think'll bring in the new year?
Georgia will issue the first death warrant in 2016. Sometime in the next couple of weeks. My guess it will be Joshua Bishop.
The following Georgia Death Row inmates have been denied at least through the 11th Circuit as of January 5, 2016:
Name - Case Status
Joshua Daniel Bishop - cert denied 10/6/14
John Wayne Conner - 11th Circuit denied COA en banc 6/23/15
Kenneth Earl Fults - cert denied 10/5/15
Travis Clinton Hittson - cert denied 6/15/15
Brandon Astor Jones - cert denied 10/5/15
Gregory P. Lawler - 11th Circuit denied COA 12/10/15
Daniel Anthony Lucas - cert denied 10/5/15
Marion Wilson, Jr. - 11th Circuit denied COA 12/15/14
Are Conner, Wilson and Hittson eligible for a death warrant?
Hittson could receive a death warrant at any time now. Conner still has his cert petition pending with SCOTUS and Georgia typically waits for that to be decided on before seeking a date.
Its a done deal with Conner, Marion Wilson just not published yet. Next death warrant should be for Joshua Bishop within the next week or so.

I think Bishop will be next.
