Amy Harwell works as Assistant Chief for the Capital Habeas Unit at Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Middle District of Tennessee. She has represented death row inmates at both the state and federal level. As part of the legal team that represented federal death row inmate Lisa Montgomery, Ms. Harwell witnessed the execution of Ms. Montgomery by the federal government on January 12, 2021. Click on the link below for news of the execution of Lisa Montgomery and click on the video link above to view a brief documentary about Lisa Montgomery, produced by BBC News.  On January 2, 2023 I sat down with Amy Harwell at her offce in Nashville, Tennessee to learn about the traumatic experience she endured as a witness of Lisa Montgomery's execution.
