Hall was convicted in the abduction and death of Lisa Rene, pictured, in 1994. Before the Trump administration resumed federal executions this year, only three federal inmates had been executed in the previous 56 years. Hall was among five men convicted in the abduction and death of Lisa Rene in 1994. Five of the first six federal executions this year involved white men; the other was Navajo. A September report by the Washington, DC-based Death Penalty Information Centre said Black people remain overrepresented on death rows, including federal death row.
