Reuters/Bryan WoolstonJan. 12 protest at Terre Haute, Indiana, federal prison against execution of Lisa Montgomery. Opponents of death penalty are fighting to prevent two more scheduled executions.
Lisa Montgomery, the only woman on federal death row in the U.S., was executed by lethal injection at 1:31 a.m. on Jan. 13. The Supreme Court vacated three different stays by appeals courts, including an order for a competency hearing to determine whether she was mentally fit to be executed.
Only five women had ever been executed by the federal government before Montgomery, including Ethel Rosenberg, framed up during the anti-communist witch hunt and executed in 1953 on charges of conspiring to commit espionage.
