1/ The execution of #LisaMontgomery would have been unjust at any time, but the fact that it was allowed to go forward last night wasn’t just tragic —it was a staggering violation of our constitution and values.

2/Lisa suffered horrific sexual violence and torture and deserved our mercy, not a punishment judged immoral by most of the world.

3/ In these last distorted days of Trump’s failed presidency, with impeachment proceedings underway and elected leaders from both parties speaking out about the failed coup, Trump didn’t even bother to respond to her clemency petition.

4/ The courts and elected leaders ignored public health guidance and pleas from corrections officers to the American Medical Association to not risk lives to carry out her execution during the pandemic.

5/ I am angered and sickened by all of this. And I am outraged by SCOTUS’s unprincipled and unconstitutional decision to yet again greenlight an execution without offering any analysis, despite the stay decisions of the lower courts.
