美国田纳西州、阿拉巴马州和俄克拉荷马州计划于周四同日执行三名死刑犯,这是自2010年以来美国首次在同一天进行三场死刑执行[1]。上一次三场同日执行发生在2010年1月7日,由路易斯安那州、俄亥俄州和德州进行[1]。
根据计划,田纳西州将对安东尼·达雷尔·海因斯执行死刑,他因1985年杀害汽车旅馆女佣凯瑟琳·让·詹金斯而被定罪,并于1986年被判死刑[1]。阿拉巴马州将执行杰里米·威廉姆斯,他因2021年强奸并谋杀5岁女童卡玛丽·荷兰被定罪[1]。俄克拉荷马州将执行卡洛斯·库埃斯塔-罗德里格斯,他因射杀女友而被判死刑[1]。
2025年美国共执行47人,创2009年以来最高纪录,其中佛罗里达州占19人[1]。死刑信息中心执行主任罗宾·梅赫表示,约10%被执行的死刑犯是"自愿者",主动放弃上诉[1]。此前田纳西州在5月份一次死刑中遇到静脉注射线路插入困难,导致执行被取消[1]。
Tennessee, Alabama, and Oklahoma are scheduled to carry out three executions on the same day, marking the first time the United States has executed death row inmates simultaneously across multiple states since January 7, 2010 [1]. The last occurrence of three executions on a single day involved Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas in 2010 [1].
Tennessee will execute Anthony Darnell Haynes, who was convicted in 1985 of killing motel maid Catherine Jean Jenkins and sentenced to death in 1986 [1]. Alabama will execute Jeremy Williams, who was convicted in 2021 of raping and murdering 5-year-old Kamarlie Holland [1]. Oklahoma will execute Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez for shooting his girlfriend [1].
The executions underscore a broader trend: the United States has already carried out 47 executions in 2025, the highest figure since 2009, with Florida accounting for 19 of those [1]. Tennessee encountered complications in May when IV line insertion difficulties during an execution led to the procedure being canceled [1].
According to Robin Merrell, director of executions at the Death Penalty Information Center, approximately 10 percent of executed death row inmates are "volunteers" who actively abandon their appeals [1].
