Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has died. The court announced her death in a statement Friday morning, citing “complications related to advanced dementia, probably Alzheimer’s, and a respiratory illness.” She was 93.

 Retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, whose centrist views and shrewd negotiating skills allowed her to steer the nation’s law for much of her quarter-century tenure, died on Friday at the age of 93, the court said. The court said in a statement that O’Connor died in Phoenix of complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness. Chief Justice John Roberts recalled O’Connor as having “blazed a historic trail as our nation’s first female justice.” to read more go to the link below:
