Factbox: Executions of women in the United States are rare
sep 29 2015 (Reuters) - Kelly Gissendaner, 47, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection in Georgia on Tuesday in what would be the first execution of a woman in the state in 70 years.
Gissendaner, convicted of plotting her husband's 1997 murder, would be in rare company nationally, as well. Only 15 of the 1,414 people put to death in the United States since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976 were female, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
