Federal court allows first federal execution in 17 years
The 7th U S Circuit overturns a lower court stay on Daniel Lewis Lee, a Yukon Oklahoma man scheduled for lethal injection in Indiana for 1996 Arkansas killings. The ruling cites public interest in carrying out the sentence amid coronavirus concerns and notes a staff member tested positive, but says no delay to the timetable is required. The family plans to appeal to the Supreme Court while fearing travel during the pandemic.
