United States District Court Judge Randolph Moss also relinquished an order from the director of the Bureau of Prisons that had slated Lisa Montgomery s putting to death as a legal penalty for January 12.
Montgomery had earlier been scheduled to be sentenced to death at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, this December. However, Moss postponed the execution after her lawyers contracted COVID-19 visiting their client and appealed to him to extend the amount of time to issue a clemency petition, reported CBS News.
More than two dozen inmates and staff at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution have tested positive for COVID-19 over the past month, according to Bureau of Prisons data released Thursday.Â
The cases include 25 inmates and three staff at the medium-security U.S. Penitentiary who were reported to be infected with the coronavirus, as noted on the agency s website, which tracks active cases.Â
Lompoc prison officials notified Santa Barbara County health officials about the outbreak on Dec. 8 and promptly instituted testing and infection control measures, according to Paige Batson, deputy director for the county Public Health Department.
