If we are to believe the article, Lisa Montgomery's lawyers decided against taking her off her medications that kept her from being psychotic and potentially incompetent for execution because they "weren't going to do that to her" in the words of Attorney Kelley Henry. But is psychosis a fate worse than death? That should be a decision for Lisa Montgomery, not her lawyers, to make. Perhaps that part of the reporting is inaccurate, or Kelley Henry's statement was disingenuous. If her lawyers really did make that decision for her, it was unethical and perhaps motivated by them not wanting to risk repercussions to their legal careers.
