Two accomplices in the murder was life in prison, each without possibility of parole. However, a final stay of execution of the call for 41-year-old Teresa Lewis was denied. She will be given a lethal injection Thursday night.Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell said:
“Having carefully reviewed the clemency petition, the court decisions in this case and other relevant material, I find no compelling reason to cancel the sentence that was imposed by the district court and affirmed all the reviewing courts. Accordingly, I decline to intervene, and have not notified the counsel and family of his decision. “Teresa Lewis said: “I just want the governor to know that I’m very sorry, deeply from my heart. And if I could take it back, I would in a minute.”
Lewis, the first woman in the U.S. since 2005, who was executed. The first woman was executed in Virginia in 1912. In the claim, Lewis said that her low IQ has made her mentally incapable of appreciating her crime.
