    So is he not still under a state sentence of death inTexas? Could he not be returned to the custody of TDCJ for purpose of execution in the event his appeals exhausted there first?
    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    He is not under a state sentence of death. The federal death penalty act does allow states to carry out executions for the federal government, as was the dispute in the District of Columbia court last fall.

    The Federal government is attempting to lift an injunction that is stopping Hall from being executed. In the filing they note his appeals have been exhausted for the past 10 years.

    U.S. Plans to Carry Out Eighth Federal Execution This Year in November

    REUTERS - THE U.S. Department of Justice plans to execute Orlando Hall, a convicted murderer, on Nov. 19, according to a notice filed with a federal judge overseeing challenges to the department's lethal injection protocol.

    The United States has already carried out seven executions this year after resuming the punishment in the summer, ending a 17-year hiatus.

    Only one?
    Violence and death seem to be the only answers that some people understand.

    Execution Scheduled for Federal Death Row Inmate Convicted of Murdering a Child

    Attorney General William P. Barr today directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to schedule the execution of Orlando Cordia Hall, who was sentenced to death after kidnapping, raping, and murdering a 16-year-old girl in 1994.

    In September 1994, Hall and several accomplices ran a marijuana trafficking operation out of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. After a failed drug transaction involving $4,700, Hall and his accomplices went to the Arlington, Texas, home of a man they believed had reneged on the deal. The man’s 16-year-old sister, Lisa Rene, answered the door. Although she was simply an innocent bystander, Hall and his accomplices kidnapped her at gunpoint, and Hall raped her in the car. Hall’s accomplices subsequently drove her to a motel in Arkansas, where they raped her several more times. Hall and his accomplices then took her to a park where they had dug a grave. There, they beat her over the head with a shovel, soaked her with gasoline, and buried her alive.

    In October 1995, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas found Hall guilty of, among other offenses, kidnapping resulting in death, and unanimously recommended a death sentence, which the court imposed. Hall’s convictions and sentences were affirmed on appeal more than 20 years ago, and his initial round of collateral challenges failed nearly 15 years ago. In 2006, Hall received a preliminary injunction from a federal district court in Washington, D.C., based on his challenge to the then-existing federal lethal-injection protocol. That injunction was vacated by the district court on Sept. 20, 2020, making Hall the only child murderer on federal death row who is eligible for execution and not subject to a stay or injunction. Hall’s execution is scheduled for Nov. 19, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana.

    This confirms a theory that I had that Federal executions are themed. Child killers first, car jackers second.

    If anyone wants a good read you should look at what his attorneys are saying.
