Kimberly McCarthy is set to be the first woman executed since 2010 when she is put to death in Texas on Tuesday. She was convicted of murdering a 70-year-old woman in Texas in July, 1997. The victim was stabbed numerous time. McCarthy then stole the victim's credit cards and took the victim's car. Prior to the attack, McCarthy served a two-year sentence for forgery and was released in 1991. (Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice/AP Photo)
