DeLAND, Fla. – A local man was determined not to let his veteran father’s 95th birthday go unnoticed as he spent time recovering in a hospital so with a little help from social media, the WWII Marine got a full-on birthday blowout. “My father, Corporal Ernest Lee, USMC, served in several WW II Pacific campaigns and one of the last remaining liberators of Guam alive today. To let him know he is not alone and very appreciated during his 95th birthday,” the post read. Daniel Lee said his father deserved all the extra love, attention and the outpouring of support on his big day. I said, ‘It’s not the value of the balloon, it’s the feeling behind sending me the balloon’ because that just made my day, week,” Ernest Lee said.

Cooper)CHICAGO The only Native American on federal death row is set to die Wednesday for the slayings of a 9-year-old and her grandmother nearly two decades ago, though many Navajos are hoping for last-minute intervention by President Donald Trump to halt the execution. The first three federal executions in 17 years went ahead in July after similar legal maneuvers failed. If Mitchells execution goes ahead as planned, it would happen on the third night of the GOP convention. There are currently 58 men and one woman on federal death row, many of whose executions have been pending for over 20 years. Several relatives had said they opposed Mitchell's execution.

The agency made the disclosure in court filings in response to lawsuits that have sought to halt executions scheduled to resume Monday. The staff member immediately left work and notified the bureau Saturday about the the positive test, according to the court filing. The disclosure comes as the Justice Department is fighting to proceed with the first federal execution since 2003.

Daniel Lee, 47, had been scheduled to die by lethal injection on Monday at a federal prison in Indiana. The court order applies only to Lees execution and does not halt two other executions that are scheduled for later next week. The federal prisons system has struggled in recent months to stem the exploding coronavirus pandemic behind bars.

A federal judge in Indiana on Friday halted the first federal execution planned in 17 years scheduled three days from now over COVID-19 concerns. Daniel Lee had been scheduled to die by lethal injection on Monday. The injunction delays the execution until there is no longer such an emergency. Lee, 47, of Yukon, Oklahoma, was convicted in Arkansas of the 1996 killings of gun dealer William Mueller, his wife, Nancy, and her 8-year-old daughter, Sarah Powell. The relatives of the victims had pleaded for years that Lee instead should receive the same life sentence as the ringleader in the deadly scheme.
