Amber McLaughlin is set to be the first openly transgender person executed in the U.S and the first person executed in 2023, a non-profit group says.

McLaughlin's counsel said she "never had a chance," according to the application for executive clemency. Her counsel described the abuse and neglect that McLaughlin allegedly faced from her family and in the foster care system and the brain damage and trauma she has experienced due to this.
