    According to media reports and the DPIC Battle is still on death row. Due to the little information that is available on him and that he is still listed as serving a life sentence at Terre Haute USP, I am inclinded to believe that that the reports are correct and that their website listing is wrong.

    The government says it will resume executions. These are the three Georgia men on federal death row.

    The federal government said on Thursday that it would begin resuming executions this year, the first that would occur since 2003.

    The Department of Justice said five men would be executed in December, all convicted in child murder cases.

    There are 55 other federal prisoners with a death sentence, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, and three of them are from Georgia.

    These are their stories:

    According to court documents, Battle was already serving a life sentence when, in 1994, he allegedly killed correctional officer D’Antonio Washington with a hammer at the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta.

    Battle was said to have been found standing near Washington as the guard was discovered on the ground bleeding from his head. Battle's clothes were splattered in blood and the hammer was found behind a vending machine he was standing by.

    Court documents say he confessed to the killing the same day.

    In a later interview, he told agents “that he felt he was getting ‘bossed around’ at (the prison) and that he thought he might get more respect by killing Officer Washington.”

    “Battle also told agents he was happy about Officer Washington’s death and had no remorse whatsoever,” says a 2005 judgment by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, affirming Battle’s death sentence.

    Battle’s earlier life sentence was for the 1987 sexual assault and murder of his wife, a U.S. Marine named Minnie Foreman.

    Washington, 31 years old when he died, is one of 26 federal corrections officers who have been killed on the job.

    Article also gives a link to his appeal to the 11th Circuit in 2005. https://www.scribd.com/document/4198...tle#from_embed

    I think he has been resentenced to life and DPIC and the media are wrong. Also Federal Bureau of Prisons has him listed as being at Springfield MCFP, not Terre Haute.

    They most've finished the resentencing and moved him since I last looked him up.

    I wonder if covid is delaying inmates being transferred around right now?

    I'm even more confused now. So he is still on death row and the feds are trying to lift an injuction that is stopping him from being executed. Further more in the filing it says that his appeals have been exhausted for at least 10 years.

    What is going on? The Feds still don't have him listed as being on Death Row or at Terre.
