The 38-year-old was convicted in 2006 of kidnapping Davontae Williams, before torturing and starving the boy to death.

When Police arrived at the apartment Coleman shared with girlfriend and mother of the child Marcella, the boy was found to be so emaciated he weighed just 2.5 stone, half of what a normal nine-year-old should weigh.

Davontae also had more than 250 different injuries, including cigarette burns, and evidence of restraints being placed on him.

One of her prosecutors, Dixie Bersano, said 'not an inch on his body had not been bruised or scarred or injured.'

Coleman apparently said 'Tell them I finished strong' before she passed away peacefully on Wednesday evening, blowing kisses to her supporters who gathered to watch her death.

Her attorney, John Stickels argued that Coleman's race and sexual orientation contributed to her sentence, saying she would have not got the death penalty if she hadn't been a black lesbian.
