US State Executes First Woman In Nearly 100 years
JARRATT, Virginia - Teresa Lewis, a 41-year-old grandmother, was put to death by lethal injection, becoming the first woman in nearly a century to be executed in the state of Virginia, a prison official said.
Lewis was pronounced dead at 9:13 pm Thursday (0137 GMT Friday) at Greensville prison where she was given a lethal injection, spokesman Larry Traylor said.
Just outside the prison, a group of some 30 death penalty opponents rang a bell and prayed as Lewis went to her death.
