Jurors unanimously agreed today that Lisa Montgomery be put to death for killing Bobbie Jo Stinnett and stealing her unborn daughter nearly three years ago.
The federal jury deliberated about five hours. If jurors had not reached a unanimous decision in favor of the death penalty, Montgomery would have received life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Before the decision was announced, the judge ordered spectators to control their emotions or leave the courtroom.

One thing I appreciate about my old stomping grounds is that people out in the midwest have little tolerance for such barbarous acts.
The same type of death she dished out,,
My conscience is torn about the death penalty, too. However, I do agree with the jury’s decision in this case. Such a wicked woman.
holy sh.. that’s scary.
I have none. If a murderer, or say a child rapist is put to death there is a 0% statistical chance of recidivism
Not only do “dead people tell no tales”, they don’t commit crimes either.
Amazing!
EEEEWWWW!!!! Don’t tell me there are TWO of them walking around!!! ))))))SHUDDER((((((
I used to have a problem with the death penalty. I don’t anymore. I no longer am confused about whether the criminal cared about imposing the death penalty on their unsuspecting victim.
When people are murdered, people forget about the person that was murdered and whether that person wanted the death penalty.
That said, they have to be careful that their is no question that the person sentenced to death actually committed the crime.
If they can present evidence like DNA, they should be given the chance to do so.
This woman deserves the punishment. She will be alive far longer than her victim.
The older I get, the more mixed feelings I have about it too. The functional, rational side of me has no problems with it. But I always try to match up what I think and believe with scripture and I’ve never been absolutely sure that it is consistent with scripture. But it may be, it’s just that I’m not sure. Someday, I really need to study scripture with just that question in mind.
EEEK!
What a miserable, evil looking thing. Her soul really “shines” through.
What she did is wicked beyond belief.
Her lawyer described her as "sick," apparently as a reason that she should not be executed. And yet, some people will argue that innocent unborn children with "genetic defects" should be killed. I don't get it. She has proven that she cannot function in human society. This jury definitely reached the right decision here.
This is subhuman. It should be sent to a middle eastern country where they have many methods of delivering the death penalty.
The Bible speaks about societal laws, being judged by a jury of your peers somewhere. There is no rule against the death penalty. God warns that that judgment shouldn't worry you, it's the one that comes next that should.
Unborn children are innocently executed. Murderers who kill innocent people deserve to be put to death so they cannot kill again and so that society can extract justice in the name of their dead victims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
