Evil Wife Realizes She_s Going To Death Row

Fewer than 50 women are on death row in the United States, making them a rare and often overlooked population within the criminal justice system. Women represent about 2% of individuals currently sentenced to death, and only 18 have been executed since 1976 [citation:3]. The moment of realizing they are going to death row is often marked by a chilling contrast between their crimes and their histories. Lisa Montgomery, executed in 2021, was a severely mentally ill mother who suffered years of trafficking and abuse [citation:3][citation:7]. Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was just 18 when she killed a fellow Job Corps trainee and kept a piece of her skull [citation:8]. Many are survivors of gender-based violence, yet their trauma is often dismissed in court. For them, the final realization of a death sentence is the end of a long, painful journey. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/red-tree-crime--6847553/support.
