The execution of Lisa Montgomery – BBC News
Lisa Montgomery was the first woman to be executed by the federal government in America for nearly 70 years.
The 52-year-old strangled pregnant 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett, before cutting out and kidnapping her baby in Missouri in 2004. The child survived and was returned to Stinnett’s family.
Her lawyers argued that she had been born brain-damaged and was too mentally ill to be executed. Family members say that as a child she was routinely sexually and physically abused by her father, and trafficked by her mother.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I am still in therapy due to the childhood trauma and PTSD I suffer from. I would never take another persons life unless it is to protect my family or myself. She was heartless. I don't believe in the death penalty but I am not sorry that she met her end this way. RIP to Bobby Jo and my heart goes out to her late husband and child. May that family find comfort in one another.

Of course she knew she was going to be executed. The problem with BBC is that they want to hit Trump with this execution

This woman did have a truly horrific upbringing. Her mother was shit and she was surrounded by scum. It's awful and I feel very sorry for her.
But none of that excuses what she did. If you're mentally aware enough to premeditate everything and try not to get caught by the cops, you're not so mentally ill you can't be held accountable. Just because your own life was horrific doesn't give you the right to inflict horror on other people.

The truly evil people are those who cannot have remorse for the background that shapes a self-confessed monster. I wonder how healthy their minds would be after a childhood such as lisa's.

Whether she suffered abuse through tout her life isn’t the issue imo. Did she know right from wrong when she committed the horrendous act? Seems like she did.

NOTHING ANYONE can DO to a child MAKES them become a murderer. It is HORRIFIC and it's ABHORRENT, but it can NEVER EVER BE the REASON for ANYONE to murder. There are MANY people who have suffered worse then she was treated and never murdered anyone.
