1st execution of woman since 2010 set in Texas

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The execution Tuesday evening of a Texas woman convicted in the gruesome murder of her 71-year-old neighbor will mark the first time in three years that a female inmate has been put to death in the U.S.

Kimberly McCarthy, 51, was sentenced to death for the 1997 robbery, beating and fatal stabbing of retired college psychology professor Dorothy Booth. Investigators say Booth had agreed to give McCarthy a cup of sugar before she was attacked with a butcher knife at her home in Lancaster, about 15 miles south of Dallas.

A new paradigm  :

Distraught, Shuai - who worked at a Chinese restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana - took rat poisoning in an attempt to end her life.

According to court documents, Shuai left a note addressed to the boyfriend, in which she declared that she was going to kill herself

with rat poison, and in doing so, she was :

"taking this baby, the one you named Crystal, with me".

That note is the basis of a criminal case against Shuai, who survived her suicide attempt and went on to deliver the baby

- only to have the child die four days later. .... :'(

As a result, Shuai is charged with murder and attempted foeticide.
