Supreme Court clears execution of Tennessee woman to proceed
Original: Supreme Court allows execution of Tennessee woman to proceed after delay
The US Supreme Court has cleared the state of Tennessee to carry out the execution of a woman on death row, lifting a delay that had put the case on hold. The ruling means the sentence can proceed, drawing attention to capital punishment and the handling of her final appeals.
Why now: Executions of women are rare in the United States, making the Supreme Court's decision to allow it to proceed notable.
