A federal judge said the Justice Department acted unlawfully when it rescheduled the execution of the only woman on death row, Politico reported. Lisa Montgomery’s executed was initially scheduled to be executed this month, but the Bureau of Prisons rescheduled the date to January 12 after her attorneys got sick with COVID-19 and asked for a delay so they could file a clemency petition, the Associated Press reported. US District Court Judge Randolph Moss said the Justice Department couldn’t execute Montgomery,52, before the end of the year and then said they couldn’t order her execution while there was stay-in-place order amid the pandemic.
