A Horrific, Tragic Story Ends in Execution

Photo: Courtesy of Attorneys for Lisa Montgomery/via REUTERS At 1:31 a.m. today, the federal government executed Lisa Montgomery by lethal injection. Montgomery was the only woman on death row, and is the first woman to be federally executed in nearly 70 years. She was sentenced in 2007 for murdering a pregnant woman and removing her unborn child from her body. Montgomery’s lawyers argued she was severely incompetent for execution, citing mental illness and a long history of brutal trauma.

Montgomery had “bipolar disorder, temporal lobe epilepsy, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorder, psychosis, traumatic brain injury, and most likely fetal alcohol syndrome,” per the New York Times. Advocates say she was tortured, raped, and abused her entire life; her mother once told investigators that her first words were, “Don’t spank me. It hurts.

Experts who examined Montgomery say she often disassociated from reality as an adult because of trauma, and that she also suffered permanent brain damage from physical abuse. “But before her trial, neither the prosecution nor the defense had investigated the relationship between Montgomery’s many symptoms and her appalling history,” writer David Rose argued in The Guardian. “She had seemed to the jury impassive and unemotional, as if she bore no remorse.

There is a show streaming on Sundance Now (free trial) called No One Saw a Thing, and their final episode tells the story of the murder this woman committed, the baby abduction, and how they caught her. Good riddance to this liability. She should have been killed a long time ago

It’s unforgivable how many people failed this woman her entire life

The whole situation is tragic, all of it. There are no innocent parties here.

Every aspect of the death penalty is tragic. The Supreme Court overruled the stay of execution. Shame on them, good Christians, as they claim to be... “Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong.” helenprejean AbolishTheDeathPenalty
