美国田纳西州、阿拉巴马州和俄克拉荷马州定于周四同一天执行三名死刑犯的注射死刑,这是自2010年以来首次在美国三个州同日进行死刑执行[1]。其中,田纳西州将执行66岁的Anthony Darrell Hines,他因1985年杀害汽车旅馆女仆Catherine Jean Jenkins而被判死刑[1];阿拉巴马州将执行42岁的Jeremy Williams,他因2021年强奸谋杀5岁女孩Kamarie Holland而被判死刑,已认罪并拒绝上诉[1];俄克拉荷马州将执行70岁的Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez,他因2003年射杀女友Olimpia Fisher而被判死刑[1]。
上一次在同一天进行三场死刑执行发生在2010年1月7日,由路易斯安那州、俄亥俄州和德克萨斯州执行[1]。2018年曾计划进行类似的同日三地执行,但最终仅有一人被执行[1]。
Three death row inmates are set to be executed by lethal injection on the same day across Tennessee, Alabama, and Oklahoma, marking a rare occurrence in American capital punishment [1]. The last time three executions took place simultaneously in different states was on January 7, 2010, when Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas each carried out death sentences [1].
Tennessee will execute Anthony Darrell Hines, 66, who killed motel maid Catherine Jean Jenkins in 1985 [1]. In Alabama, Jeremy Williams, 42, faces execution for the 2021 rape and murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland; Williams has already pleaded guilty and waived his appeals [1]. Oklahoma will execute Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 70, for shooting his girlfriend Olimpia Fisher in 2003 [1].
This represents the first triple execution in the same 24-hour period since 2010 [1]. A similar triple execution had been planned in 2018 but only one inmate was ultimately executed [1].
