美国政府周二执行了17年来的首次联邦死刑

美国政府周二执行了17年来的首次死刑，在最高法院连夜作出裁决后，不顾受害者亲属的反对，对一名在20世纪90年代杀害阿肯色州一家人的男子进行注射死亡。47岁的白人至上主义者丹尼尔·刘易斯·李（Daniel Lewis Lee）来自俄克拉荷马州，在印第安纳州特雷霍特的联邦监狱被注射致命性药物死亡。根据美联社报道，李在被处决前说， “我一生犯了很多错误，但我不是杀人犯，你们在杀一个无辜的人。”美国监狱管理局发言人Kristie Breshears在电话中说，李在美国东部时间上午8:07（格林尼治标准时间1207）被宣布死亡。李的律师抱怨说，他们没有收到任何关于改期执行死刑的通知，而非营利研究组织 "死刑信息中心 "则说，这似乎是一次 "非法的、无证的处决"，因为对李的执行令已经在午夜到期。目前，司法部和该部监狱局的代表还没有回应。

The U.S. government carried out its first execution in 17 years on Tuesday, putting to death convicted murderer Daniel Lee over objections by his victims’ relatives after the Supreme Court cleared the way with an overnight ruling. Lee was pronounced dead at 8:07 a.m. EDT (1207 GMT), U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Kristie Breshears said by phone. Lee’s lawyers complained that they had received no notification of his rescheduled execution, while the nonprofit research group the Death Penalty Information Center said it appeared to be an “illegal, warrantless execution” because the execution warrant for Lee had expired at midnight. Representatives of the Department of Justice and the department’s Bureau of Prisons did not immediately respond to a request for comment.  source
