Daniel Lewis Lee was an American white supremacist convicted of the murders of a family of three in Arkansas in 1996. The killings were racially motivated and carried out with extreme brutality. Lee was sentenced to death and became the first federal execution in the United States in nearly two decades when he was executed in 2020. His case drew widespread attention due to its ideological motivations and legal challenges.
On July 14, 2020, the United States carried out its first federal execution in 17 years. Daniel Lewis Lee, a white supremacist convicted in the 1996 murders of William and Nancy Mueller and their 8-year-old daughter Sarah Powell in Arkansas, was put to death at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana. His execution followed decades of appeals, legal battles over lethal injection protocols, and intense national debate. Even members of the victims’ family opposed the execution. In this documentary, we examine the crime, the investigation, the trial, the long years on federal death row, his final meal, and his last words before the sentence was carried out. This is the full, factual timeline of a case that reignited America’s death penalty debate. #DanielLewisLee #FederalExecution #DeathPenalty #TrueCrime #ExecutionStory #CrimeDocumentary #DeathRow #JusticeSystem #WhiteSupremacy #USCrime #FinalMeal #LastWords
