Death Row Federal Inmates

The US Justice Department on Thursday reinstated a two-decades long dormant policy allowing the federal government's use of capital punishment and immediately scheduled the executions for five death row federal inmates.

A group of Oklahoma death row inmates scheduled to die early next year filed notice on Tuesday stating they intend to appeal the ruling of a federal judge who says the state's new lethal injection protocol is constitutional.
