“I don’t believe she has any rational comprehension of what’s going on at all,” Henry said.
At trial, prosecutors accused Montgomery of faking mental illness, noting that her killing of Stinnett was premeditated and included meticulous planning, including online research on how to perform a C-section. Montgomery, the judge wrote, also suffered around the time of the killing from an extremely rare condition called pseudocyesis in which a woman’s false belief she is pregnant triggers hormonal and physical changes as if she were actually pregnant.
The government has acknowledged Montgomery’s mental issues but disputes that she can’t comprehend that she is scheduled for execution for killing another person because of them.Prosecutors told the jury Montgomery drove about 170 miles from her Melvern, Kansas, farmhouse to the northwest Missouri town of Skidmore under the guise of adopting a rat terrier puppy from Stinnett. She strangled Stinnett performing a crude cesarean and fleeing with the baby.
Prosecutors said the motive was that Montgomery’s ex-husband knew she had undergone a tubal ligation that made her sterile and planned to reveal she was lying about being pregnant in an effort to get custody of two of their four children. Needing a baby before a fast-approaching court date, Montgomery turned her focus on Stinnett, whom she had met at dog shows.
Then the USSupremeCourt needs to be willing to sanction execution of whoever was part of the vigilante melee in Capitol resulting in 5 deaths. What is JusticeThomas POV?
Did she really do this: “... for strangling an expectant mother in Missouri and cutting the baby from her womb...”?
How do amyconeybarrett and brettkavanaugh and others reconcile government murder with their 'Pro-life' stand? Murdering abuse survivors is a devastating window of our priorities. AbolishTheDeathPenalty
This is beyond sad. Another example of the US's deranged and blood thirsty president. Only president in over 100 years to execute federal prisoners in a sitting duck period. The death penalty is wrong. In the UK it was banned 50+ years ago.Thank God I live in a civilised country.
Lisa Montgomery’s father built a detached room to facilitate rape without interruption. Lisa’s mother sold sexual access to her daughter in exchange for plumbing work. Lisa eventually experienced a psychotic break and committed a horrible crime. She is not competent.
So much for that pro-life Supreme Court and trump 'administration'.
so pretty faces are supposed to invoke sympathy? No.
Spared the same horrors as her victim, she fell to sleep never to awaken again.
“Montgomery was sentenced to death for the 2004 murder of Bobbie Jo Stinnett, a woman who was eight months pregnant. Montgomery strangled Stinnett and removed the fetus, pretending to friends and family that the baby was hers.” “Removed” = cut out with a knife.
Good. We should not have to finance these people to keep them alive for no reason. You do evil shit, you’ll pay for it eventually.
This is what America needs tonight! I feel so much better now!
people are literally defending a person who choked a pregnant woman to death and cut out the fetus. Really sad.
Where Kim K?
Forget the ‘female’ part of this death .... focus on the mental illness part. 😕
This is truly sick
RIP, more humane than a cage for life.
I’m so ashamed of this country
I'm not for the death penalty. I think they should rot in prison but this crime was where I live. It devastated more than just the family. For this one I can't object. That woman died trying to save her unborn baby. I would never wish that on anyone and I will never forget.
Good.
Whatever it takes..But orange 🍊 45 should not be able to RUN, EVER for any office; and TAXPAYERS should not PAY for a pension , lifetime Secret Service ,travel benefits, etc. All the dude should get is PRISON TIME..for COVID deaths, caged babies, RAPE , INSURRECTION...etc.
Seems quite strange she needs to be able to mentally understand she is being put to death, should be irrelevant if you’re going to be cactus.
Her mom prostituted her out as a child. Just sayin. 🤷♂️
An awful person so I don’t feel particularly sorry for her. However I question how our country is able to continue forth with the death penalty. Seems it would fall under cruel punishment.
In our name. To our shame.
This is horrible news! May the gates of hell swing open for those who have put this forth.
Only 12 years on death row. That's A RECORD!
Wait... I thought Republicans were supposed to be all pro-life?
Holy sh... I was a little taken back by seeing a woman heading to death row (Not trying to misogynistic, I promise!) I just figured she had to have done something gruesome for them to hit her with the death penalty And yeah... She sure 'nuff did... Man...
the cycle of a broken system continues.
Good RIH 🔥 bitch.
Are they saying let them die of Covid instead of lethal injection?
