A Plea for Women
This morning Lisa Montgomery became the fourth woman in the nation’s history to be executed by the federal government, the first in 67 years. Here’s how that happened.
Chill of December
Lisa Montgomery was scheduled to be executed by the United States, December 8. Following a delay on account of her lawyers contracting COVID-19, she is now set to die January 12, 2021. If she is executed on that date, she will be the first female federal inmate executed in nearly seventy years, and the 55th woman executed since 1900.
