Ohio Supreme Court affirms death sentence of only woman on death row

The Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday reaffirmed the death sentence for the only woman on death row in the state.

The high court ruled 6-1 to uphold the death sentence for Donna Roberts, who was convicted in 2003 of conspiring with her lover to murder her ex-husband, Robert Fingerhut, and collect $550,000 on his life insurance policies.

Roberts, 73, is the only woman on death row in Ohio and is incarcerated at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville.
