Lisa Montgomery: US Sets Date for First Federal Execution of a Woman in 7 Decades
Montgomery will be the ninth person to be put to death since July, when the Justice Department resumed executions after a gap of almost two decadeswww.ibtimes.sg
Even now, Montgomery's attorney, Kelley Henry, argues that she deserves to live because she is mentally ill and suffered childhood abuse. But that is not going to won't help much as the date of her execution has been set. "Lisa Montgomery has long accepted full responsibility for her crime, and she will never leave prison," Henry said. "But her severe mental illness and the devastating impacts of her childhood trauma make executing her a profound injustice."
Another problem is that it is a barbaric practice that serves no purpose except to satisfy a lust for revenge and to allow officials to show that they are tough on crime.
But obviously she's not so mentally ill she was unable to take responsibility for her barbaric crime.
