Sounds like she deserved it.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

If she was smart enough to plan this she is smart enough to pay the price.

[Oldpuppymax]

Looks like she was smart enough to sleep with and hire thugs to kill her husband for MONEY!! Or can murderers only be executed if they can solve for the area under a curve??

[ScottinVA]

Doesn’t sound borderline retarded to me, but a scheming, evil b!tch. Give ‘er the juice and let’s be done with her.

[Nepeta]

She seems to have been intelligent enough to plot the murder, and to think of taking money from his wallet. I think this qualifies her for the legal punishment.

[DCPatriot]

Only 8 years...and they’re ready?

Isn’t that a bit quick by today’s standards?

[nuconvert]

And its only taken 8 yrs. That’s surprisingly quick.

[Joe 6-pack]

If I slept with this, I would have taken a contract out on myself...

[VeniVidiVici]

Litchfield and other advocates have set up a website, SaveTeresaLewis.org, listing reasons why Lewis' life should be spared. They cite her apparently strong Christian faith, and how she's said to calm fellow prisoners by singing country gospel songs that echo across their prison cells.

I love it. Borderline retarded (funny how it seems 99% of all murderers are "borderline retarded") and yet she was able to function as a wife and mother up till the time she planned her husband's death by hiring hit men.

Seems to me she should have used her singing to calm herself rather then during a death sentence conversion.

Virginia to Execute Woman for 1st Time in 98 Years

She must have been very young the first time they executed her.

[manc]

equal rights suck doesn’t it

[Hoodat]

God bless the Commonwealth. Virginia leads the nation in executions per capita. But by Virginia standards, I am surprised they waited eight years before pulling the switch. It usually doesn’t take this long.

Buy the other prisoners a radio and then introduce Inmate Lewis to Mr. Needle.

[dogcaller]

The voter rolls are full of people of borderline intellingence; indeed the Democrats seek them out. Where is the hue and cry that that be stopped?

[Secret Agent Man]

Sounds like her IQ was high enough to deliberately plan her husband’s murder. I think she is smart enough to deserve the death penalty.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

They wanted equality. When they get it, they bitch.

[dangus]

Virginia hasn’t executed a woman in 98 years? How OLD is that WOMAN?

[Gay State Conservative]

Teresa Lewis, a 41-year-old grandmother with such a low IQ that she's classified as borderline mentally retarded...

The SCOTUS has ruled that "retarded" individuals cannot be executed.I'll wager that this one isn't even though it sure sounds like she deserves it.

[Still Thinking]

They were bitching on TV about how her IQ is 72 “just 2 points above the level at which they can’t execute a person”. So, OK, if we set the bar at 72 will you guys be OK with that? Or when somebody comes along at 74 are we gonna get the same song and dance all over again? 60 or 70 executions from now, it’ll be illegal to execute anyone with an IQ under 200. D’oh!
