Lisa Montgomery was put to death early Wednesday morning at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, shortly after the Supreme Court cleared the path for her execution. Serious doubts about whether Montgomery, who was mentally ill, was competent for execution did not stop the government from killing her. The 52-year-old, who was convicted of the 2004 murder of a pregnant woman, had been the only woman on death row. For years, she had been housed at a prison in Texas for women with special mental health needs and treated for bipolar disorder and complex PTSD stemming from her abusive childhood.""
This Biddy committed a really heinous crime which lead to a Pregnant Woman having her baby cut out of her belly then dying due to pain and blood loss.
Why any normal person should consider going against the verdict of the Judge and Jury is beyond me.

Well, some people oppose capital punishment even for the worst murderers.
I'm NOT one of them; I've supported the death penalty for murder for years now.
And on another forum I've argued furiously with an idiot who seems to think that women who kill should get a free pass.
Frankly, her crime was not just horrific but pre-planned, callous and she showed NO remorse for what she did.
I'm glad she's been executed.

with you all the way on this... i ve heard all the arguments.... might make a mistake and execute an innocent person... moral high gound... taint civilised........ i can live with all those reasons for allowing human dross to live on and even only serve half a sentence etc....... i think we treat the victims very very dadly... .....so i would wish to see the death penaty back.... not for revenge not even for justice... but because certain killers are worth less the the air they breathe and i resent keeping them alive
kill them by injection but please a million miles away from the American system,,,,give them what would kill the average donkey... no fits.. no jerkings just a straight forward jab or dose in food or drink... not later than two months afrer sentence.. not hanging around for years.......not for all murders.. just child killers deliberate via violence or sexual motive...and other premeditated murders except mercy killings....killings where guns or knives are involved .....

When I heard what this woman had done, I was shocked and I mean that ! No normal human being would do such a thing, it must be utterly harrowing for the dead womans family and even the first responders must have been shocked to their very marrow of their bones to see the victim butchered like that. We have to be realistic regarding Capital Punishment, it is both a deterrant and when carried out it does give some sort of closure to the victims Family.
