A team of Cornell faculty, graduate students and undergraduates is fighting to save Lisa Montgomery from federal execution next month, supporting her bid for clemency from courtrooms to recording studios to a social media campaign urging followers to #SaveLisa and consider #HerWholeTruth.
They hope a more complete understanding of Montgomery’s severe mental illness and history of relentless sexual and physical abuse – never fully disclosed at trial and dismissed by prosecutors as an “abuse excuse” – will persuade President Donald Trump to grant her a reprieve from becoming the first woman put to death by the U.S. government in nearly 70 years.
