Lee — who was sentenced to death for killing a family of three — was set to be executed 4 p.m. Monday at a prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, in the first federal execution since 2003, the Indianapolis Star reported.
He was convicted in Arkansas of the 1996 slayings of William Mueller, his wife, Nancy, and her 8-year-old daughter, Sarah Powell.
But the victims’ family has long opposed his death sentence, filing a lawsuit to delay his execution due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The family was granted an injunction on his execution but a federal appeals court lifted the order.
They then vowed to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, arguing they shouldn’t have to travel for the execution amid the pandemic.
“For us it is a matter of being there and saying, `This is not being done in our name; we do not want this,’” relative Monica Veillette told the Associated Press.
