Police officers gather around the scene of the crime. Lewis was sentenced to die after
she was convicted of arranging the killings of her husband and a stepson over a
$250,000 insurance paymemt.

The gunmen, Matthew Shallenberger (right) and Rodney Fuller, were sentenced to life terms.
Shallenberger committed suicide in prison in 2006.

Kathy Clifton, Julian's daughter and Lewis' stepdaughter, witnessed the execution.
She said she believes in redemption - but is not sure if her step-mother will find it:
'I can't say one way or the other with her.'
