Teresa Lewis is dead.
The State of Virginia executes a 41 year old woman for "masterminding" the murder of her husband and step son.
She had an IQ of 70.
Mental Retardation is classified as having an IQ of 69 and lower.
The two young men who actually did the killing were given life sentences.
This just seems wrong to me.
The last time Virgina executed a woman, it was the year of 1912. She was a 17 year old black "woman" who was sent to the electric chair.
Her name was Virginia Christian. She was convicted of murder.
That whole story seems eerily ironic.
98 years later, Grandma Teresa Lewis is dead at the age of 41, executed by the hands of the government of the State of Virginia.
May God rest her soul.
