Kelly Gissendaner is executed in the US, despite plea from the Pope
The US state of Georgia has executed its only female death row inmate, Kelly Gissendaner, despite a plea for clemency from the Pope.
The parole board denied her a stay of execution and she was pronounced dead at 12.21am local time after a lethal injection.
Gissendaner asked for a final prayer before she died, according to prison spokeswoman Lisa Rodriguez-Presley.
The board was not swayed by her appeal, nor by a letter they received from Pope Francis' US representative seeking mercy for Gissendaner.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's message on the Pontiff’s behalf asked for a commutation of her sentence "to one that would better express both justice and mercy".
