Georgia halted the planned Monday execution of the only woman on death row in the state due to problems with the drug to be used in the lethal injection, the Washington Post reported. Kelly Renee Gissendaner, 46, condemned for her husband's 1997 murder, would have been the first woman executed by the state in 70 years. The Post reported, citing the state's Department of Corrections, that the drug "appeared cloudy" so officials called off the execution "in an abundance of caution." The department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
