Cory Johnson and Dustin Higgs are also scheduled to be executed this week but both executions were postponed by an appeals court.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
After a flurry of court activity, two of the three federal death row inmates scheduled to be put to death this week have had their executions delayed by a federal court.
The executions of Cory Johnson and Dustin Higgs have been postponed because both inmates tested positive for COVID-19.
But the execution of Lisa Montgomery proceeded Tuesday night after a pair of Supreme Court rulings overturned two lower court delays in her execution. Montgomery is the first woman to be executed by the federal government since 1953. She was pronounced dead at 1:31 a.m.
