Three Inmates Executed in One Day
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Tennessee and Oklahoma executed inmates just 30 minutes apart on Thursday, with Alabama following suit hours later. This marks the first time since 2010 that U.S. states have executed three men by lethal injection in a single day. The man in Tennessee was executed for killing a waitress at a motel in 1985, while the inmate in Oklahoma was executed for murdering his girlfriend in 2003. In Alabama, a man was executed at night for the murder of a 5-year-old girl, for whom he paid the mother to abuse. Having three executions in one day is a scheduling coincidence, but it also reflects a trend toward an increase in executions nationwide. Eleven states executed a total of 47 people in 2025, the highest number since 2009. With Thursday's executions, 22 inmates have been executed this year, and nearly a dozen more are scheduled.
