ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news.</s>BALDWIN: Top of the hour. You're watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Breaking news. A Georgia woman on death row has been denied clemency. This after a representative from Pope Francis sent a letter to the Georgia prison board here asking them to spare Kelly Gissendaner's life. She's set to die at 7:00 eastern time this evening. She will be the first woman in 70 years to be executed in the state of Georgia. She's the mother of two. She's been on death row for just about two decades. Have to take you back here to 1997. That's when a jury found her guilty in the murder of her husband. She convinced her boyfriend at the time to actually commit the murder. He is in prison for life. Let's go life to Martin Savidge with the news here. Obviously, the news being we have just learned she has been denied clemency.</s>MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Right. And this is the second time this parole board has had to review this case. They are well familiar with it. They said this is the third clemency appeal for this particular woman, but the end result is the same decision. By the way, this parole board is made up of five people, all men, all of them were appointed by Republican governors. Two of them are former lawmakers and the other three are former law enforcement or connected with law enforcement. So that's who makes it up. We don't know how the vote went. It has to be a majority. The simple answer is that the execution is slated to go forward. There are other appeal attempts that are being made.
