A Virginia woman is counting down her final hours before being put to death for plotting the murders of her husband and stepson.
Teresa Lewis, 41, will be the first woman to be executed in southern Virginia in almost 100 years when she is given a lethal injection at 2am BST at the Greensville Correctional Centre.
Lewis pleaded guilty to hiring two men to murder her husband and stepson at the family's home in October 2002 so that she could collect £200,000 in life insurance.

Needless to say the hand wringers are campaigning for clemency...
