Appeals court rejects Trump admin's request to resume federal executions
A U.S. appeals court has rejected the Trump administration’s request to reinstate the federal death penalty after nearly two decades, setting up a Supreme Court battle over the Justice Department’s push for capital punishment.
Daniel Lewis Lee, a white supremacist who was convicted of killing a family in the 1990s, was set to be executed last month when the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Justice Department’s new lethal injection protocol may “exceed statutory authority.
The D.C. Circuit’s panel of three judges ― Judith W. Rogers, Thomas B. Griffith and Neomi Rao ― unanimously rejected Barr’s motion to stay or vacate Chutkan’s injunction. Rogers was appointed by President Bill Clinton, Griffith by George W. Bush and, most recently, Rao by Donald Trump. An attorney for some of the people on death row praised the Monday court decision, according to The Washington Post.
