Virginia is poised to carry out its first execution of a woman prisoner in nearly a century. On Friday, Governor Robert McDonnell said he won’t grant clemency to Teresa Lewis despite claims she is borderline mentally ill. Lewis was convicted of arranging the 2002 murders of her husband and stepson. She is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Thursday unless the Supreme Court sides with her appeal.
