It seems a woman on death row in the state of georgia is about out of options. She was sentenced to death for convincing her lover to murder her husband. The u. S. Supreme court denied a last ditch stay of execution. Martin savage has been following the story and joins us live from atlanta. Just spring us up to speed with where things stand right now. Is she out of options . Does she have any more chances of reprieve on the state level . Just help us on where things stand . Yeah, they got thereon a number of different legal hurdles and also gone for the georgia parole board. There are very few options left. I wont say none. As long as shes alive her lawyers are going to hope theres some last ditch effort. First of all, they had to go through the parole and pardons board of georgia. There was a hearing held in the state. It lasted for a number of hours. There was system given, even by her own children. They said dont give her death, give her life in prison. That did not happen. That set
Than two years. Its happening at the United Nations general assembly. To say these two leaders have had icy relations is honestly putting it gently. The tension has just escalated with russia announcing this new intelligence sharing agreement with iraq, iran and syria. Here was Vladimir Putin speaking last night on 60 minutes. Translator we support the legitimate government of syria and its my deep belief that any actions to the contrary in order to destroy the legitimate government will create a situation which you can witness now in the other countries of the region or in other regions. When president obama took to the podium this morning, he didnt mince words. Heres what he had to say about russia propping up Bashar Al Assad. We should support tyrants like Bashar Al Assad because the alternative is surely worse according to them.

Updated Jan. 13 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time to reflect the latest updates to Lisa Montgomery’s case.
There are few who would defend Lisa Montgomery’s actions from Dec. 16, 2004. On that day, Montgomery, then 36, drove to the home of a pregnant woman she had befriended online, Bobbie Jo Stinnet, and strangled her with a piece of rope. Afterward, she cut the baby from Stinnet’s stomach and took the newborn home with her. When police encountered Montgomery at her home the next day, they found Montgomery cradling the baby. She confessed to the killing, ultimately receiving a federal death sentence for her crime.
doug. she had no mercy, gave him no right, no choices for the opportunity to live his life. the beating and stabbing death was committed by her boyfriend, gregory owen. in a separate trial, owen got a lesser sentence of life with the possibility of parole. the disparity between his sen tensi sentence was evidence towards a flawed judicial system. there was also her life after her conviction in which she turned to her faith, studied theology and counselled fellow prisoners. in a strange twist, two previous execution dates were postponed. once by wanter storm, another when the experts who said the ch chems that made up her legal injection looked cloudy. she earns two very different distinctions, the first woman executed in georgia in 70 years, and the last woman on georgia s death row. mart
