Federal appeals court overturns injunction, rules first federal execution in 17 years can proceed as scheduled on Monday.

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court ruled Sunday that the first federal execution in nearly two decades can proceed as scheduled on Monday.that had put the execution of 47-year-old Daniel Lewis Lee on hold.

The appeals court found that the claim from the victims’ family “lacks any arguable legal basis and is therefore frivolous.” The Justice Department said the development would not mean an additional delay in the government’s timetable because the worker had not been in the execution chamber and had not come into contact with anyone on the specialized team sent to the prison to handle the execution.

The family hopes there won’t be an execution, ever. They have asked the Justice Department and President Donald Trump not to move forward with the execution and have long asked that he be given a life sentence instead. Attorney General William Barr told The Associated Press in recent days that he believes the Bureau of Prisons could “carry out these executions without being at risk.” The agency has put a number of additional measures in place, including temperature checks and requiring witnesses to wear masks.

The death penalty is warranted in some cases where the person committing the murder was so egregious & brutal there is no forgiveness or leniency in the act the only solution is to take his life as well, why have the taxpayers pay the support him until he dies of old age

And so it begins. The fight for good vs. evil.

He murdered an innocent family of three including a child. I’ll volunteer to pull the switch.

terrific news.

Love how you put the fear porn of COVID everywhere. The propaganda by media is relentless. Nice job!

Oh yea, let’s gettem dropping boys. If you’re a pos who murdered sone innocent person or innocent little kid and stole every right they have, even to breath, you should be executed.

why the hell was there an injunction? enjoin for what?

Good.

Anyone who complains about Daniel Lewis Lee’s death sentence being too harsh, I want you to imagine how horrific his crime had to be in order for a jury of twelve citizens to declare that he deserves to die for his crimes.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Retribution is a good thing

That's unfortunate.

This is BS

Sooo... is treason still on the federal death penalty list? Asking for 350 million friends.

This is an obscene use of taxpayer dollars, just to provide a spectacle of State-sponsored ritual homicide.

I aM pRo-LiFe

Sounds good, now if we could just make it cruel and unusual....

So how fast will it be before the first Trump campaign television ad exploiting the ruling, so as to embellish himself as the 'law and order' president?

We are doomed
