A coalition of prosecutors, domestic violence groups, anti-trafficking organizations, child advocates and mental health experts sent a series of letters to President Donald Trump on Wednesday urging him to stop the execution of Lisa Montgomery, a mentally ill woman who suffered extreme childhood abuse, including incest, physical violence and sex trafficking by her own parents.
In 2004, Montgomery, the only woman on federal death row, killed Bobbie Jo Stinnett, who was pregnant, and abducted her baby. Montgomery is scheduled to be executed by the federal government on Dec. 8. If the execution occurs, she will be the first woman to be executed by the U.S. in nearly 70 years.

Tell them to ask the “President elect”.
Dead or alive, she’ll be voting DEM for many years to come.
She should be publicly burned at the stake for what she did.
I'm going to disagree with you a bit. I don't think she deserves the death penalty. OTH, there isn't anything we can do to cure her, or fix her, or make things right with or for her. You don't kill a rabid animal because it deserves it. You kill it because it's not safe to leave running loose. Same with this poor woman. She's not safe to let go. Put her down like a rabid dog, and send her to God. Maybe he can heal her, and he is the only one who can judge her. It's also not right to confine other people with someone that messed up.
Wonder if it’s an attempt to set legal precedence for “forgiving” heinous crimes if one can prove the perpetrator was abused. Perhaps they want such a precedent in place before Ghislane Maxwell’s little black book implicates important people in heinous crimes on Epstein Island? Contents of Hunter’s laptop? Contents of Weiner’s laptop? “Crimes against children” all “explained away” by people claiming they were abused. I dunno - there MUST be a reason for this farce.
I agree with those who say that whatever abuse a person suffers, they make an independent choice whether to become an abuser or align themselves with the innocent. There are decent people everywhere who had HORRIBLE experiences as children.It’s a choice.
First things, first, Flynn and Roger Stone pardons first and then appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Hunter and Joe Biden pay for play scandal as a parting gift steaming pile to Biden and the Dems so Biden can get a little taste of Mueller investigation during his first 2 years in office
Her crime was horrific and her payment for the crime must be total.
I suppose they’re talking about commutation from death to life imprisonment without possibility of parole, not a “time-served” shortened sentence.. Even that is bad policy here, IMHO. I don’t want to pay to feed this waste of oxygen.
"who suffered extreme childhood abuse, including incest, physical violence and sex trafficking by her own parents." did she enjoy it??? i think not... did she think they would enjoy it, again i think not, so there's NO EXCUSE to do it to somebody else
Very sad situation, but I disagree with the prosecutors, domestic violence groups, child advocates and mental health experts. Feminism/fascism is no excuse for committing murder and theft of a child.
I used to call that the “hang nail” defense. Ya know they had a hang nail when they were a teen so ya gotta let them live.
Correct.
Past abuse has been used by defense attorneys for decades. This isn't any precedent. Other than the fact that a Skidmore killing led to an execution. Google Skidmore Mo. for more.
What you described takes a lot of planning, scheduling, prior purchase of supplies, gasoline, disguises, and of course deliberate, murderous force. She may have mental issues, but she was capable enough to do all this described.
That is diabolical and psychotic, not someone who just had a minor blow up and got upset.
For the good of society, put this woman down. Some folks are simply too ‘broken’ inside to walk free.
It would be just a matter of time before she or her ‘advocates’ found a Judge weak enough to let her out of jail completely.
I think the precedent would be “cutting a baby out of a living woman”. A whole ‘nother level of heinous not established as precedent...yet.
“a mentally ill woman who suffered extreme childhood abuse, including incest, physical violence and sex trafficking by her own parents”
But, according to HuffPo, such things don’t exist. They are just conspiracy theories.
Of course she’s mentally ill.
It still doesn’t absolve her.
I know my position is confusing
