After two decades, the Department Of Justice will resume executing prisoners on federal death row, including an Iowa man. Listen as Jeff gives his opinion AND the listeners weigh in.
Here is the information provided by the DOJ in regard to the Iowa man who is set to be executed:
Dustin Lee Honken shot and killed five people—two men who planned to testify against him and a single, working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters. On Oct. 14, 2004, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa found Honken guilty of numerous offenses, including five counts of murder during the course of a continuing criminal enterprise, and he was sentenced to death. Honken’s execution is scheduled to occur on Jan. 15, 2020.
