       CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — An execution date was set for Alfred
       Bourgeois, the Louisiana long-haul trucker convicted of the
       beating death of his 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Ja'Karenn Gunter,
       at NAS-Corpus Christi. He is scheduled for execution on Dec 11,
       2020, at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind.
       The move comes as result of the U.S. Department of Justice's
       Thursday decision to resume carrying out lethal injections at
       the federal level.
       Bourgeois, who had been granted visitation custody of the
       toddler the previous month, was making a delivery to the base on
       June 28, 2002, when he became enraged that the girl, who wasn't
       potty-trained, had an accident in his truck. He was convicted of
       molesting, torturing and eventually beating the child to death.
       The 2004 conviction was only the second death penalty case
       pursued by the Southern District of Texas in its then-101-year
       history. The case fell under federal jurisdiction because the
       crime was committed at the naval base.
       When Bourgeois was convicted in 2004, U. S. Attorney Michael
       Shelby told KRIS 6 News that in his 18 years of prosecuting
       crimes, this case by far, had the most cruel and grueling
       testimony he had ever heard.
       "If hell ever publishes a book on cruelty, I am confident that
       they will include a chapter (on) Mr. Bourgeois and his conduct,"
       Shelby said at the time. "And I'm equally confident that he will
       be down there to personally to hand out autographed copies."
       Attorney General William Barr said that review has been
       completed, allowing executions to resume. The new procedure will
       feature a single drug, pentobarbital, instead of the previous
       three, and is a method used in state executions in Texas.
       Four other inmates' executions were also scheduled Thursday.
