In 2004, Lisa Montgomery was arrested after she murdered 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett in Missouri, who was eight months pregnant. She was later convicted of capital murder and federal kidnapping -- leading to a death sentence. Now on the eve of her execution, her sister, Diane Mattingly, spoke to CBSN's Lana Zak about why Montgomery should be given clemency for her crimes.

That shouldn't trivialize or "make less than" when I go around murdering a woman and stealing her child.

This was premeditated.
The evidence alone proves the case.

But truth be told, Bobbie-Jo and her baby were never given the chance to request *not* to be killed...
Bobbie-Jo's family should have an opinion in this regard too...

Lisa is full of it too, first she's apologetic then turned around and said "the jury didn't hear everything"....
She did what she did, point, blank, period. She doesn't need to be competent now to get the axe, she was competent when she did what she did.
I black out in anger all the time, and conscious me know if anything happens in that black out that's my black @**🤷🏾♀️... I'm accountable for myself and all my demons... So is she!

Cut out of her mom...

If I was that child and I grew up to find out the women who ripped me out of my mum was being fed and clothed and given life in prison. You going to have another 'BROKEN' person. So anything I do should be justified

Yes, she had an absolutely torturous childhood. I wouldn’t wish the things she experienced on my worst enemy.
But she was competent enough to seek out this woman online. To form a friendship with her. To travel to her under false pretenses. And to perform a c-section. There’s new doctors who aren’t competent enough to perform c-sections, there’s doctors who mistakenly cut the baby during c-sections because the amniotic sack layers can so easily be sliced through. She performed a c-section on a woman she had murdered and delivered a healthy baby. You can’t then claim afterwards “she’s not competent” just because when you chat to her she “spaced out”.
