Georgia and the Grim Reaper: A Not-So-Chipper Look at Lady Lawbreakers

So, How Many Women Have Faced the Final Curtain?
Here's the shocker: only two ladies have ever been executed in Georgia since the death penalty waltzed back in after a little break in the 70s. That's right, you can count them on one hand (with a couple fingers to spare).
- Lena Baker: This poor soul got the zap in 1945 after a controversial trial. Some say she acted in self-defense, but a jury of 12 gentlemen (gentlemen in the loosest sense of the word) disagreed. Fun fact (well, not really fun): Lena was the only woman ever electrocuted in Georgia. Thankfully, they've switched to a more "modern" method these days.
- Kelly Gissendaner: She met her maker (via lethal injection) in 2015. Buckle up for a wild story - she was convicted of orchestrating the murder of her husband, but some folks believe she was just a pawn in a much larger, much darker scheme.
Hold on, isn't there a third woman on death row right now?
Yep, you got it! Tiffany Moss is currently waiting on pins and needles (or maybe electric needles these days) to see if her appeals pan out.

Why So Few Females on Death Row?
Truth is, women just don't commit capital crimes as often as men. Shocking, right? It's not like there's a "Housewives Gone Wild" murder ring operating out of Atlanta.
But hey, maybe they're just better at getting away with it! (Don't worry, FBI, this is a joke.)
