Her crime was heinous. She had strangled a pregnant women to death and cut out the infant from the womb. Then she passed off the baby as her own.
This morning in Terre Haute, Indiana, that woman - Lisa Montgomery - was put to death by lethal injection, reports the New York Post. Infamous because of what she had been convicted of, she has also become part of the legacy of the Trump Administration. Last July, it resumed federal executions after a long hiatus. Montgomery is the 11th to be put to death since then.
Because of the nature of her crime, there hasn't been a lot of sympathy for her. However, her legal team hammered the abuse she had suffered, dating back to her own time in the womb. Her mother drank heavily during the pregnancy. Her stepfather raped her. Later she had been, like so many damaged human beings, a target for bad treatment.
