Decline to Halt Execution

Angry Judge

On Monday morning a federal judge declined the "halt to the Tuesday's execution of the only women on death row". Her name is Kelly Renee Gissendanter and in 1997 was convicted of murdering her husband with the help of her lover. The lover got sentenced with life in jail while she is being sentenced to the death penalty. Kelly's lawyers tried to get the Judge to to consider a request that they filed in March, but the Judge did not take it. The lawyers plan to take it to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
