Updated Jan. 13 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time to reflect the latest updates to Lisa Montgomery’s case.
There are few who would defend Lisa Montgomery’s actions from Dec. 16, 2004. On that day, Montgomery, then 36, drove to the home of a pregnant woman she had befriended online, Bobbie Jo Stinnet, and strangled her with a piece of rope. Afterward, she cut the baby from Stinnet’s stomach and took the newborn home with her. When police encountered Montgomery at her home the next day, they found Montgomery cradling the baby. She confessed to the killing, ultimately receiving a federal death sentence for her crime.
