This is the first time in almost 60 years that a woman has been executed in the United States. The US Department of Justice says a woman named Lisa Montgomery strangled a pregnant woman in Missouri in 2004 and then cut her abdomen and abducted her unborn baby. He will be executed on December 6 in Indiana with a toxic injection. The British outlet BBC Bangla reported this.
Bonnie Heidi is the latest woman to be executed in America. His execution took place in 1953 in a gas chamber in Missouri, according to the Center for the Death Penalty. Additionally, 7 people have been sentenced to death nationwide from 197 to 2017 and only three of them have been executed. If Montgomery is executed in December, it will be the eighth execution nationwide this year.
United States Attorney General William Barr says Lisa Montgomery has committed a heinous crime.
According to a press release from the Justice Department, in December 2004, Lisa Montgomery drove from Kansas to the home of victim Bobby Joe Steinette to buy a puppy. Stinette was then eight months pregnant. Upon entering the room, Lisa Montgomery attacks Stinet and grabs her by the neck. At one point, Stinet lost consciousness.
The press release further said that Montgomery then stabbed Stenette in the lower abdomen with a kitchen knife. Then Stinett’s senses returned. After that, there was a fight between them. Montgomery then strangled Stinet and killed him. Montgomery then pulled the baby out of Stinette’s stomach and fled with him. She tries to run him like her own son.
A judge convicted Montgomery of kidnapping and murder at the beginning of the trial. He was unanimously sentenced to death. But Montgomery’s attorneys argued in court that he was mentally ill as a result of brain damage caused by beating him as a child. That is why it would not be correct to condemn him to death.
