Lisa Montgomery, who was found guilty of strangling a pregnant woman in Missouri, will be executed by lethal injection at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana.

One child died and 24 fell ill after eating the poisoned porridge at school last year.

The federal government this year began carrying out executions again after a 17-year hiatus despite waning public support for the death penalty.

Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department would appeal the court’s ruling last month that tossed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s death sentence.

In a tweet, U.S. President Donald Trump said the federal government must challenge a July 31 appeals court decision overturning the death penalty for the 2013 attack.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston upheld much of Tsarnaev's conviction but ordered a lower-court judge to hold a new trial strictly over what sentence Tsarnaev should receive for the death penalty-eligible crimes he was convicted of.

The Supreme Court early Thursday cleared the way for a second federal execution this week. The vote to allow the execution of Wesley Ira Purkey to go forward was 5-4, with the court’s four liberal members dissenting.

The U.S. government on Tuesday carried out the first federal execution in almost two decades, putting to death a man who killed an Arkansas family in a 1990s.

A U.S. district judge on Monday ordered a new delay in federal executions, hours before a lethal injection was scheduled to be carried out.

Lonnie Franklin, 67, was on death row for killing 10 women in California.
