Federal execution planned in Terre Haute for Bourgeois case
Alfred Bourgeois, a 56 year old Louisiana truck driver, faces a federal execution in Terre Haute Indiana for the 2002 death of his 2 year old daughter after abusing her for weeks. His lawyers argue intellectual disability should bar the death penalty under federal law. Bourgeois would be the 10th federal inmate executed since July resumption and the second this week at the Terre Haute facility, with three more slated for January.
