丹尼尔．路易斯．李曾抢劫谋害一户三口之家，并将受害者遗体弃尸于湖中。 

美国最高法院于美国东岸时间今日凌晨两点，驳回联邦上诉法院与联邦地方法院，暂停执行白人至上主义者丹尼尔．路易斯．李（Daniel Lewis Lee）死刑的要求，正式于美国时间今日上午执行了17年来首起联邦死刑。

The only reason Daniel Lewis Lee was executed was because of justices put on the court by Trump. Democrats wanted to stop the execution of a convicted white supremacist triple murderer with with nazi tattoos but Republicans fought them, won & executed him. pic.twitter.com/kvyhWOuKSg

Earlene Peterson’s daughter and granddaughter were murdered. @TheJusticeDept says that she has no right to attend the execution of a man who was involved. If AG Barr actually believes this argument, then he should call Mrs. Peterson and personally tell her that she has no rights. pic.twitter.com/IlgsZ51z64

原定13日遭处决的李，曾抢劫谋害一户三口之家，并将受害者遗体弃尸于湖中，今日伏法前仍坚称自己不是杀人犯。而女儿、孙女、女婿都惨遭李杀害的81岁妇人皮特森（Earlene Peterson）日前表示，他希望李与他的共犯能在狱中度过馀生，不希望李被处死。

美国司法部去年起使用了新的死刑注射药物「戊巴比妥」（pentobarbital），美国联邦地区法院法官库特莰（Tanya Chutkan）13日指出，死囚可能会以新药违宪为由起诉法院，要求暂缓执行死刑。美国哥伦比亚特区联邦上诉法院（U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit）也表示不会如期进行死刑。但美国最高法院却在今日凌晨以五票赞成、四票反对，同意死刑执行。

皮特森与其他两名受害者家属也于上週提起诉讼，要求法院考量武汉肺炎疫情带来的健康风险，延后执行死刑，但还是无法阻止李遭处决。
