[QUOTE="simme, post: 1658900, member: 40418"] [URL='https://www.kvor.com/news/judge-halts-1st-us-execution-of-female-inmate-in-67-years/']Judge Halts 1st US Execution of Female Inmate in 67 Years | AM 740 KVOR | KVOR-AM[/URL] Lisa Montgomery drove about 170 miles from her Kansas farmhouse to the northwest Missouri town of Skidmore under the guise of adopting a puppy from Bobbie Jo Stinnett, a 23-year-old dog breeder. She strangled Stinnett with a rope before performing a crude cesarean and fleeing with Stinnett's unborn baby. U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon found that the court must first hold a hearing to determine whether Montgomery meets the legal criteria for competency before the execution can move forward, finding she “[B]would be irreparably injured if the government executes her when she is not competent to be executed[/B].” Those words in bold seem strange to me. A convicted murderer would be [B]irreparably injured if the government executes her [/B]when she is[B] not competent to be executed. [/B]I expect that all executions cause [B]irreparable injury [/B]by definition. If a person has been convicted and appeals have been exhausted, you would think the judge's reasoning for a stay would be more creative than her execution would cause her to be [B] "irreparably injured".
