The US government on Tuesday morning carried out the first federal execution in nearly two decades \u2014 despite objections from family members of the killer\u2019s victims.<\/p>\n

Daniel Lewis Lee, who was convicted of killing a family of three, died by lethal injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, in the first federal execution since 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t do it,\u201d Lee said just before his execution. \u201cI\u2019ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I\u2019m not a murderer. \u2026 You\u2019re killing an innocent man.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old was convicted in Arkansas of the 1996 slayings of William Mueller, his wife, Nancy, and her 8-year-old daughter, Sarah Powell.<\/p>\n

The execution followed several legal attempts<\/a> by the relatives of the victims to delay the punishment due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

But the Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling early Tuesday that allowed it to move forward.<\/p>\n
