This thread is for the crimes of the convicted on death row and execution imminent in the US.
Daniel Lewis Lee was executed today in Indiana, being the first execution by lethal injection at a federal level in the US since the death penalty was restored in 1988. The last execution took place in 2003. Three more are scheduled between now and August, Wesley Purkey, Dustin Honken and Keith Nelson. Attorney General William Barr has announced a further fifty nine will follow.
Lewis, Purkey, Honken and Nelson have all been convicted of child murder.
Daniel Lewis's partner in the murders of the Mueller family of three was Chevie Kehoe of Kehoe family infamy, of greater prominence in the white supremacist movement and a childhood friend of serial killer Israel Keyes. Kehoe received a life sentence, Lewis death.
Victim Nancy Mueller's mother Ms Peterson, has been vocal against the execution of Lewis.
Kehoe had arrived in court "dressed very nicely like a young businessman" while Lee "was not", she remembered - "he had the Swastika on his neck...he didn't have no eye.
"He really looked like an outlaw. He was instantly judged the minute he walked into the courtroom. You could see the prejudice on the jury's faces and the people in the audience, you could tell.
"And myself, at the time, I'm not going to exclude myself because I felt the same thing that they felt. I felt like he was guilty from the time he walked in, before even hearing anything."
It was argued in court by Lee's attorneys that Kehoe told Lee to kill Sarah but he refused, telling him "I don't kill children", said Ms Peterson, to which Kehoe had allegedly said "I do" before killing the eight-year-old.
"So, who's the worst man? That's the way I feel," she continued.
The details of these murders which were prolonged, were particularly cruel. They're bad. Like most of the crimes committed by the convicted sitting on death row.
