The Trump administration executed Lisa Mongomery early Wednesday. She was the first woman put to death by the federal government in 67 years.
Montgomery, 52, was executed by lethal injection in Terre Haute, Indiana after being convicted in 2007 of federal kidnapping resulting in death. She was the only woman on federal death row.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for the execution very late on Tuesday. The craven bloodlust of a failed administration was on full display tonight. Everyone who participated in the execution of Lisa Montgomery should feel shame, Montgomery s attorney, Kelley Henry, said in a statement.
