Judge halts federal execution of man in Texas teenโs 1994 killing
Late Thursday, Hall was put to death for abducting and killing the teenager, Lisa Rene. His was the eighth federal execution this year since the Trump administration revived a process that had been used just three times in the past 56 years. A judgeโs stay over concerns about the execution drug gave Hall a reprieve, but for less than six hours. Hall was among five men convicted in the abduction and death of Lisa Rene in 1994. Lisa Rene was home, alone.
