If all goes according to plan on December 8 Lisa Montgomery will find out if there is really life after death.
In
2004 she strangled and killed Bobbie Jo Stinnett, 23, in Skidmore, MO.
She then cut Stinnett open and took her baby. She attempted to pass
the baby off as her own. Her lawyer tried a psych defense. The jury
didn't buy it. She crossed state lines to commit her crime which I am
guessing is the source of the federal involvement. Possibly the
kidnapping of the baby as well.
Assuming
this actually happens she will be the ninth federal prisoner to take
the long walk since July of this year, after a 20-year hiatus. In the
prior 56 years the feds have only executed three prisoners. There are
two more in addition to Montgomery scheduled to see what's on the other
side this calendar year.
