Wanda Jean Allen (August 17, 1959 – January 11, 2001) was sentenced to death in 1989 for the murder of Gloria Jean Leathers, 29. Allen was the first black woman to be executed in the United States since 1954.〔 She was the sixth woman to be executed since executions resumed in the state in 1977.〔http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/US/allen687.htm〕 Her final appeals and the last three months of her life were chronicled by filmmaker Liz Garbus in the documentary ''The Execution of Wanda Jean'' (2002). ==Background== Wanda Jean Allen was born on August 17, 1959, the second of eight children. Her mother was an alcoholic; her father left home after Wanda's last sibling was born and the family lived in public housing and scraped by on public assistance. At the age of 12, Allen was hit by a truck and knocked unconscious, and at 14 or 15 she was stabbed in the left temple. It was found that Allen's actual abilities were markedly impaired, and that her IQ was 69.〔 Found particularly significant was that the left hemisphere of her brain was dysfunctional, impairing her comprehension, her ability to logically express herself, and her ability to analyze cause and effect relationships. It was also concluded that Allen was more chronically vulnerable than others to becoming disorganized by everyday stresses, and thus more vulnerable to a loss of control under stress. By age 17, she had dropped out of high school.
