Louise Harris- (I cant find a picture of her)
The story is that Louise Harris was married to the victim, a deputy sheriff, and was also having an affair with Lorenzo McCarter. She asked McCarter to find someone to kill her husband, and McCarter to that end approached a co worker, who refused and reported the solicitation to his supervisor. McCarter then found willing accomplices in Michael Sockwell and Alex Hood, who were paid $100 and given a vague promise of more money upon performance. On the appointed night, as her husband left for work on the nightshift, Harris called McCarter on his beeper to alert him. McCarter and Hood sat in a car parked on a nearby street, and Sockwell hid in the bushes next to a stop sign. As the victim stopped his car at the intersection, Sockwell sprang forth and shot him, point blank, with a shotgun. Harris was arrested after questioning, and McCarter agreed to bear witness to the conspiracy in exchange for the prosecutor's promise not to seek the death penalty. McCarter testified that Harris had asked him to kill her husband so they could share in his death benefits, which totaled about $250,000.
I wrote to Shonda for several years. I do not feel that she is guilty. I truley belive that her boyfriend/3rd husband committed the murder. BUT I posted the above picture she gave me on this blog and her overprotective sister harrassed me for days over it. I havent spoken to shonda since 2006 or so. Johnson was convicted in 1999 of the shooting death of Randy McCullar in a church parking lot in rural Walker County on Nov. 30, 1997. The capital murder charge involved killing a person who had been a grand jury witness. Testimony at the trial showed that Johnson was still married to McCullar when she married William Howard McIntyre Jr. in 1995 and when she married Tim Richards in 1997. McCullar testified before a grand jury and got Johnson prosecuted for bigamy. He also filed for divorce and custody of their child three weeks before he was killed. Johnson was so mad that she tried to get a former boyfriend she lived with between the McIntyre and Richards weddings to kill McCullar, but he wouldn't. Then she persuaded Richards to cut McCullar's tire while he was in a lounge. According to testimony, Richards and Johnson followed McCullar to a church parking lot, where Johnson gave Richards a loaded gun and got him to kill McCullar. In a plea deal, Richards testified against Johnson.
Patricia Blackmon-
Patricia Blackmon was 29 years old when she committed the crime that landed her on death row. May 1999, in Dothan Alabama, Patricia Blackmon brutally murdered her two-year-old adopted daughter Dominiqua Bryant.
Convicted in 2005 of crushing her infant son's, Cody, head with a deadly strike against his crib. The baby suffered a fractured skull, five broken ribs, broken wrists and numerous bruises. An autopsy showed that he died from head trauma consistent with child abuse.
Sentenced to death for the murder of her autistic son. Apparently she drugged her son with sedatives and set the house on fire, killing him in the blaze. This was like the fourth fire her home had had. There is much speculation to her guilt though.
All inmates on Alabama death row

When the Alabama first became a state Pauline McCoy, a black 19 year old girl, was hung for killing a 14 year old white girl, Annie Jordon, for her clothing. She testified that her father killed the girl and brought her clothes home. Pauline was seen wearing them however and arrested. They said she made a jailhouse confession but nothing was very clear.
New York Times article October 1888
On Jan. 24, 1930, Alabama executed Silena Gilmore of Jefferson County for murder. She frequently told her captors and anyone else who would listen that she was drunk when she committed her crime and that corn whiskey was the devil. Drunk and unruly, she went into a restaurant and ordered food. She felt the food took to long to prepare and she began to raise hell. She and was asked to leave by a white waiter. She went home got a loaded shotgun, came back and shot the waiter.
When she was executed in the electric chair she sang hymns and told witnesses that corn whiskey was the devil.

Wendi Andriano 19152
Debra Milke 083533
Debra Milke was convicted for the death of her son. She sent the boy to the local mall with her room mate. The roomate and another man took him into the desert and shot him.
They said Debra told them to for insurance money and for the fact that she didnt want him to grow up like his father.
There are lots of inconsistancies in her trial.
Wendi Andriano was convicted of killing her husband for the insurance money.
The only woman actually executed in Arizona was Eva Dugan, 49, who was hanged Feb. 21, 1930 for the 1927 butchering of Tucson rancher Andrew J. Mathis. The reason being may be that it was grotesquely botched. Evan was accidentally decapitated. The promptly switched to the gas chamber as a more humane method of execution.The evidence against her was actually all circumstantial. The victim was her ex boss who had recently fired her and the person who had the deceased car said Eva sold it to him.
