The Trump administration executed 52-year-old Lisa Montgomery in January 2021. Her crime was horrific, even by death row standards: In December 2004, Montgomery strangled a pregnant woman named Bobbie Jo Stinnett before cutting out and abducting her unborn child. In 2007, a Kansas City federal jury sentenced Montgomery to death. ©2020 The Trustees of Indiana University
