There have been just three federal executions since the death penalty was reinstated in 1988

Four federal executions were scheduled but a district court judge had suspended them to allow for legal challenges to the lethal injection that was to be used.

"We vacate the District Court's preliminary injunction so that the... executions may proceed as planned." Lee, who has since renounced his white supremacist beliefs according to his lawyers, was sentenced to death while Kehoe received three life sentences without the possibility of parole.
