89. Baby Snatcher: Does anyone deserve the death penalty?

89. Baby Snatcher: Does anyone deserve the death penalty?

By BBC Radio 5 Live

Bobbie was eight months pregnant and shared the good news with her online community.

But because she met Lisa Montgomery, Bobbie would never have the future she hoped for. In one of the most horrific ways imaginable, Lisa steals her baby.

Lisa was the first woman to be put to death by the US government in 67 years. But did she deserve capital punishment? Is the death penalty ever justified? On this episode of Bad People, Sofie Hagen and Dr Julia Shaw discuss botched executions, lethal injections, and the UN's call for the global abolition of capital punishment.
