I too would like to see her dead BUT I fear she is about to be granted a last minute stay. Chit DNA evidence also links her to the murder of two other women. Maggie Harding(81, Jettie Lucas(85) seems she love's vulnerable "women" to murder.

usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/29/16748754-last-minute-request-made-to-halt-execution-of-texas-womanDefense lawyers have made a late request to halt the execution of a Texas woman set to become the first female put to death in the U.S. in three years. The request was sent to a Dallas County judge Tuesday just hours before Kimberly McCarthy's scheduled execution. University of Texas law professor Maurie Levin argues that McCarthy was the subject of racial discrimination by the jury of 11 whites and only one black that convicted her. McCarthy is black. She said the same in a letter Friday to Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins. Watkins' office calls the effort a "mere delay" tactic because the record doesn't support a valid legal claim for discrimination. McCarthy faces execution Tuesday evening in Huntsville for the 1997 beating, stabbing and robbing of her neighbor, a retired 71-year-old college psychology professor. A Dallas County jury already found former nursing home therapist Kimberly McCarthy guilty of the killing when evidence at the punishment phase of her trial tied her to two similar murders a decade earlier. "Once the jury heard about those other two, we were certainly in a deep hole," recalled McCarthy's lead trial attorney, Doug Parks. Jurors decided McCarthy should die. Her execution would be the first since a Virginia inmate, Teresa Lewis, became the 12th woman put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976 allowed capital punishment to resume. In that same time, 1,309 men have been executed. The 51-year-old McCarthy also would be the first woman executed in Texas in more than eight years and the fourth overall in the state, which executes the most people in the nation — 492 prisoners since capital punishment resumed 30 years ago. Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics compiled from 1980 through 2008 show women make up about 10 percent of homicide offenders nationwide. According to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, 3,146 people were on the nation's death rows as of last Oct. 1, and only 63 — 2 percent — were women. Ring cut from living victim Evidence showed McCarthy, who has exhausted her court appeals, phoned Booth to borrow a cup of sugar, then attacked Booth when she went to retrieve it. Booth was stabbed with a butcher knife, beaten with a large candle holder and robbed of a diamond wedding ring. "(McCarthy) quite literally took the woman, put her left hand on a chopping block of the kitchen and then used a knife to sever her ring finger while she was still alive," said Greg Davis, the former Dallas County assistant district attorney who prosecuted McCarthy. "She took the ring from the finger that had been severed and continued the attack until she finally killed her." Prosecutors showed McCarthy stole Booth's Mercedes and drove to Dallas, pawned the ring for $200 and then went to a crack house to buy some cocaine. Evidence also showed she used Booth's credit cards at a liquor store and was carrying Booth's driver's license. Booth's DNA was found on a 10-inch butcher knife recovered from McCarthy's home. McCarthy was arrested after police found her name on a pawn shop receipt for the ring. McCarthy was tried twice for Booth's slaying, most recently in 2002. Her first conviction in 1998 was thrown out three years later by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which ruled police violated her rights by using a statement she made to them after asking for a lawyer. Prosecutors presented DNA and fingerprint evidence that tied McCarthy to similar slayings of two other women in Dallas in December 1988. Maggie Harding, 81, was beaten with a meat tenderizer and stabbed. Jettie Lucas, 85, was beaten with both sides of a claw hammer and stabbed. McCarthy was indicted but not tried for those slayings. She denied any involvement. “When the jury saw the other two were equally gruesome, I think it sealed the deal for her," Davis said. McCarthy is a former wife of Aaron Michaels, founder of the New Black Panther Party, and he testified on her behalf. They had separated before Booth's slaying. McCarthy declined to speak with reporters as her execution date neared. She's one of 10 women on death row in Texas but the only one with an execution date. In 1998, Karla Faye Tucker, 38, became the first woman executed in Texas since the Civil War for a robbery in Houston where two people were killed with a pickax.

Chit DNA evidence also links her to the murder of two other women. Maggie Harding(81, Jettie Lucas(85) seems she love's vulnerable "women" to murder. I know that but even so there is still a slim chance she will be granted a stay. There were numerous cases about notorious condemned murderers who were granted last minute stays even hours before their scheduled executions.

If they take her off DR, or even give this execution date a stay, it just proves how inconsistent our justice system is. Using the race card is bs, all white jury exception of one black, has nothing to do with a horrible murder proven guilty by solid evidence. Any slim chance would really be built on bs.

Not tonight Dallas County prosecutors say they aren't appealing a state judge's decision to halt the scheduled Tuesday evening execution of a Texas woman. She would have been the first woman put to death in the U.S. since 2010. State District Judge Larry Mitchell issued a reprieve for 51-year-old Kimberly McCarthy less than five hours before she could have been taken to the death chamber for the 1997 slaying of a neighbor. Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Shelly Yeatts says McCarthy's execution date now is April 3 Read more here: www.star-telegram.com/2013/01...#storylink=cpy

How is this situation going folks, by my reckoning she has ninety minutes to go. Gut feeling is saying a last minute stay is on the cards.
