Executing Lisa Montgomery Would Be One of Trump's Final Cruelties
Content warning: This snippet and the full article have distressing details regarding the sexual abuse of children and other violence.

From a young age, Lisa Marie Montgomery endured brutal physical and sexual assaults at the hands of her mother and stepfather, leading to severe mental illness. Now, 52, she is set to be the first woman executed by the federal government in 67 years.
In 2004, Montgomery contacted Bobbie Jo Stinnett, a dog breeder who was eight months pregnant. On the pretext of buying a puppy, Montgomery, who lived in Kansas, drove to Stinnett’s Missouri home. Montgomery strangled Stinnett, cut open her abdomen, and removed her fetus. She took the baby home and told her husband that she had gone into labor while shopping.
She was arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to death in federal court. (The baby was returned to Stinnett’s husband.) Montgomery is the only woman on federal death row.

“In death penalty cases, the death penalty is never mandatory,” Sandra Babcock, faculty director of the Cornell Center on the Death Penalty, told me. Instead, it is at the discretion of the prosecutor. In Montgomery’s case, that prosecutor was Alberto Gonzales, known for his overzealous pursuit of capital punishment, and his support for warrantless wiretapping and torture as George W. Bush’s White House counsel and, later, his attorney general.
Hope you saw that the psycho killed a woman 8 months pregnant and carved her up for the baby. (https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214576447)
Seems pretty open-and-shut justification for killing her outright, but of course DU is DU...

I am against the DP, but this case is even weak for supporters of capital punishment.
Guessing the murderess is a registered Democrat.
Anyway, if this all seems a little hypocritical, consider this from Equivocation Underground (https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141661210).

Kill the psycho. Good to see you again, BFDU...it's been ages!

My only hesitation about supporting the death penalty is that leftists would be allowed to impose it.

So Montgomery sought out a woman who was pregnant ...
... planned out a deception to lure that pregnant woman into her power ...
... drove across state lines as part of her plan ...
... deceived that pregnant woman into being unwary ...
... overpowered that pregnant woman whose condition limited her ability to resist or escape ...
... slowly killed that woman by strangulation ...
... understood what she had done well enough to know she had to deliver the baby quickly ...
... mutilated the woman she killed ...
... and understood that what she had done was wrong well enough to concoct a lie to tell her husband.
And DUpipo think that monstress should not be executed?!!!
