The US government on Thursday tracked the series of executions of prisoners sentenced to death following the presidential elections. Today, Alfred Bourgeois, a trucker who abused and killed his two-year-old daughter in 2002, is executed.
The Trump administration is speeding up executions of federal prisoners, with five announced last week taking place between this Thursday and even days before Biden takes office as president in January. If they do occur, it will be 13 since July, when the United States government resumed the implementation of the death penalty. It should be noted that President-elect Biden is against the death penalty.
Alfred Bourgeois, 56, will be executed this Thursday. His attorneys say he has an IQ that places him in the mentally disabled category, claiming that factor should have made him ineligible for the death penalty under federal law.
