The first execution of a federal prisoner is back on for Monday, an appeals court says. The victims' family, who asked for a delay, will appeal to the Supreme Court, their attorney says

The execution of Daniel Lewis Lee, a convicted killer, was scheduled for Monday, but a Friday ruling in a lower court put the execution on hold after the victims' family filed a lawsuit asking for a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic and their fear of becoming exposed while witnessing the execution.The Seventh Circuit's ruling allows for Monday's execution to go forward, for now, but the family will make an 11th hour appeal to the Supreme Court, according to their attorney.

Read MoreEarlene Peterson -- whose daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law were tortured, killed and dumped in a lake by Lee and an accomplice -- has opposed Lee's execution, telling CNN last year that she did not want it done in her name.

Make executions public again.

I’ve seen Hail Marys but this one takes the cake.

I say throw his ass up on the wall for display. Make it clear that we don’t tolerate rapist, especially child rapist, in this country.

Backwards in time

the family wants to see him die.... how morbid

No one should have the right to kill another human. Let them rot in prison

Meanwhile, Antifa death toll still remains at 0.

I hope POTUS doesn't see this. He will probably pardon him too...

'whose daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law were tortured, killed and dumped in a lake by Lee and an accomplice' Pretty much all I need to know right there.

Seventh Circuit

Well, your propaganda- allowed the execution of dozens of INNOCENT victims during this glorified black lives matter movement.. only supporting 1% killed by white cops. Sorry the federal system killed someone that likely did something pretty horrific

i am a rapper and i need a sponsor please retweet

Both those guys should be executed - not just the one. Two men killed those ppl.

This yes, this no, this is executed by me Sing Trump.

may THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND I HAVE SOME INCREDIBLE ARMS OF THE ARCH. THE ARCH WORKS WITH A JUDGEMENT IN WHICH LUCIFER IS THE CLEANER. BEWARE!

What nonsense. So we're back to killing killers... Guess this is some distraction or to show: 'look, we can kill whites too' . Anybody knows, if this will be on pay tv?

Doesn't he work for trump?

Are they gonna televise it? They should bring back the chair for certain crimes. I hope the media announces the time for the show.

His crime was probably being white in the year 2020

I am white and want to know if l am racist using brown sugar and eating white icecream. Time to cancel the cancel culture.

What about wayfair? Are we going to look into the corruption from our own politicians and celebrities who are trafficingchildren for adrenochrome and abuse? Seems like a bigger story to me. Might want to look into it.

I assume that he got that neck tattoo in hopes that Trump will pardon him?

Today baby maxim The reason you have two hands is to help yourself with one hand and others with the other.

He’s a supremacist and killer , the courts should do exactly the opposite of whatever he REALLY wants.

No delay. Anyone that thinks that pos deserves to live, look up what he ended that 8year olds life. Now if you have kids and still think he deserves to live than your lying to yourself.

Why not make him a covid-19 vaccine ginea pig. Give him the vaccine then put him with a case positive. If he lives, then back to jail. If he does not then...we know the vaccine did not work.

Wow first ever federal execution? That seems exciting! 🙂

Did Jesus really teach us to use weapons? - what do you think? - love MondayMotivaton mondaythoughts

A live stream is just as good ya know

You have to ask yourself here: who does this execution benefit? A state sanctioned murder that is not wanted by the victims surviving family. The death penalty is on the long list of in-humane tools used by the government to show who really holds the power in this nation.

You don’t have see an excution. Do not stay this execution!

He didn’t care about his victims pain and suffering. An eye for an eye.

Roast the pos.

We need our blood lust

This stinks. The victim's family didn't want the guy to be executed. The Federal government decided to do it anyway and then wants to do it in a way that can expose the family to Covid19. The Federal Government is in the wrong here and should stand down!

Well you wanted them out of jail

Wow, I thought cool, some humanity, but no they don’t wa t to die , while watching someone die. Smh

💉💉🎉

Good

I'd be happy to go and video tape it for them. Then they could watch it as many times as they liked. Also, I could post it on twitter.

I will create a website of your dream

The death penalty implies your justice system is perfect.

Have donlemon do play by play!

Understand he used to be a white supremacist. He along with another man murdered a family of three, including a little girl. Family can give him a decent service afterward. Who would want to see their relative executed anyway.

That's an outdated concept and morbid, just tell us when he's dead

He will be killed? Even for the evil people, putting someone to death makes me to feel bad ...

The victims family has no rights to watch the execution, Duh,,,

Obama would have pardoned him if he was African American

When the murder victims' family is seeking a stay of execution citing that Lee was not the mastermind you know it's worth a second look. Executing someone is engaging in the same heinous act and two wrongs do not make a right.

CNN doesn’t tell you that he killed a family of 3 including a eight year old girl

In a separate court appeal , the Bureau of Prisons announced one of it's own staffers tested positive for coronavirus on saturday.

Provide a Zoom feed for the victim’s family, unless they want to extend the life of the White Suppremacist criminal.

Terrible!! 😣

Is it too late to change his name to Roger Stone or Mike Flynn?

He seems nice

is that a tattoo of a swastika ?

The family will make an 11th hour appeal to the Supreme Court , their attorney says.
