Linda Carty
Linda Anita Carty (born 5 October 1958) is a woman possessing both United States and British citizenship on death row in Texas. She was convicted and sentenced to death in February 2002 for the abduction and murder of 25-year-old Joana Rodriguez, allegedly in order to steal her four-day-old son.[2][3] Carty claims she was framed by drug dealers[4] in response to her work as an informant and has appealed against her conviction. Her appeals have been unsuccessful and the appeal procedure has been exhausted.[5] Barring the granting of clemency, she stands to become the first black British woman to be executed in more than a century.[6]
