The federal government plans to execute prisoners again after over 16 years. The Department of Justice has reset execution dates for four convicted murderers who had battled the Trump administration's attempt to revive the use of the federal death penalty.
Attorney General William Barr on Monday directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to schedule the executions of four federal inmates, convicted for murdering children, for July and August by lethal injection. Daniel Lewis Lee, a one-time white supremacist who killed a family of three, will be put to death in Terre Haute, Indiana, on July 13, the Justice Department said, marking the first federal inmate to be executed since 2003.
Shawn Nolan, the attorney for Honken, cited misconduct in Honken's trial and sentencing and a denial of a"full and fair review" into the proceedings. Purkey's attorney, Rebecca Woodman, said Purkey suffers from dementia and mental illness and is"unable to comprehend" why the government wants him executed.
