Execution Date For Only Woman On Federal Death Row Is Reinstated

The transcript discusses the case of Lisa Montgomery, who was convicted of murder and is scheduled for execution. Her execution was initially delayed due to her attorneys contracting COVID-19 but was rescheduled for January 12th, just before President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. Biden opposes the death penalty and may intervene. Montgomery's lawyers argue her mental illness and trauma should be considered. The last federal execution of a woman was in 1953.
