美国将在同一天执行三名男性死刑犯,这是16年来首次发生[1]。三人分别为安东尼·达雷尔·海因斯(66岁,田纳西州)、杰里米·威廉姆斯(41岁,阿拉巴马州)和卡洛斯·库埃斯塔-罗德里格斯(71岁,俄克拉荷马州)[1]。
2025年美国死刑执行数量激增,共执行47人,较2024年的25人增加近一倍[1]。这一增长主要源于特朗普政策推动和佛罗里达州州长德桑蒂斯的改革,其中佛罗里达州约占2025年执行人数的40%[1]。特朗普在2025年第二任期第一天签署行政令恢复联邦死刑,并扩展执行方式包括枪决[1]。此外,2023年佛罗里达州将死刑陪审团投票要求从全体12人降至8人[1]。
然而,美国公众对死刑的支持正在下降。仅52%的美国人认为死刑在道德上可接受,创1970年代以来新低[1]。同时,陪审团签发死刑判决的数量也在下行,从1990年代的每年超过300份降至2025年的仅23份[1]。
The United States is set to execute three men on the same day, marking the first occurrence of such a coordinated execution in 16 years [1]. The three individuals scheduled for execution are Anthony Darrell Hines, 66, from Tennessee; Jeremy Williams, 41, from Alabama; and Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 71, from Oklahoma [1].
This development coincides with a dramatic escalation in capital punishment across the nation. The US carried out 47 executions in 2025, nearly double the 25 executions recorded in 2024 [1]. The surge has been driven by policy changes under the Trump administration, which signed an executive order on the first day of his second term in 2025 to reinstate federal capital punishment and expand execution methods to include firing squads [1]. Additionally, Florida has implemented reforms accelerating executions in the state, which now accounts for approximately 40 percent of all US executions in 2025 [1]. In 2023, Florida lowered the jury vote requirement for death sentences from a unanimous 12 members to eight members [1].
Despite the increase in executions, public support for capital punishment has declined significantly. Only 52 percent of Americans now view the death penalty as morally acceptable, the lowest level since the 1970s [1]. This sentiment is reflected in declining numbers of death sentences issued by juries, which have fallen from over 300 annually during the 1990s to just 23 in 2025 [1].
