The US federal government executed 52-year-old Lisa Montgomery on Wednesday morning. Federal executioners at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana gave Montgomery a lethal injection in the early hours of Wednesday, after the US Supreme Court lifted a last-minute stay of execution. A lower court judge had stayed the execution, citing concerns over Montgomery's competence to receive the capital sentence imposed on her for the murder of 23-year-old Bobbi Jo Stinnett in 2004.
Montgomery was the only woman on federal death row.
