The federal execution of a convicted murderer who kidnapped and killed a 10-year-old girl is scheduled to proceed on Friday after a late ruling by an appeals court.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit overturned a preliminary injunction issued by a lower court in a brief order on Thursday, saying that there were “insufficient findings and conclusions” in blocking the execution of Keith Dwayne Nelson.
