The federal government executed an inmate for the first time in nearly two decades on Tuesday morning.
Daniel Lewis Lee was convicted on May 4, 1999, of killing three members of an Arkansas family: William Frederick Mueller, his wife Nancy Ann Mueller, and his 8-year-old stepdaughter Sarah Elizabeth Powell. The Department of Justice executed Lee at the federal prison near Terre Haute, Ind., on Tuesday, the first federal execution carried out since 2003.
