Emergency stop! The first federal death penalty in the United States in 17 years will be postponed

　　China News Service, July 14th, according to foreign media reports, on the 13th local time, a judge of the United States District Court for Washington issued an order to postpone the death penalty originally scheduled for execution on that day. The US government has appealed this and asked the death penalty to continue.

　　According to previous reports, the criminal to be executed is Daniel Lee. He is a white supremacist who killed a gun dealer, his wife and 8-year-old daughter in 1996. In 1999, he was sentenced to death.

　　Daniel Lee is currently being held in a prison in Indiana. He was originally scheduled to receive an injection death sentence in prison at 4 pm local time on the 13th. This is the first time the United States has executed the death penalty at the federal level in 17 years.

　　The local court judge Chu Kan, who issued the emergency order, said that there are still legal issues that need to be resolved, "shortening the legal process of justice does not serve the public well." He said that the criminals have provided evidence that the government only uses penbabi Proper (pentobarbital) plans to execute the death penalty "consider a serious risk of unconstitutionality" and may cause serious pain to prisoners.

　　Subsequently, the Trump administration immediately asked the Supreme Court to overturn Chukan's order and demand that the execution continue. The United States Department of Justice also challenged the ban in the Federal Court of Appeals in Washington, DC.

　　Earlier on July 10, Indiana Chief District Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson ruled that the death penalty would be suspended. On the 12th, a federal appeals court in the United States ruled that execution of the death penalty could be carried out as scheduled on the 13th.

　　On July 25, 2019, the United States Department of Justice announced that it would resume the federal death penalty and take the lead in executing five death row prisoners who admitted to killing children. This will be the first federal death penalty in the United States since 2003. The case of Daniel Lee is included.
