World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported35m ago
On Thursday, Oklahoma executed Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez for the 2003 or 2005 killing of his girlfriend. The execution was the first of three scheduled to take place in the United States on the same day.
In addition to the Oklahoma execution, a Tennessee man faces the death penalty for killing a motel maid, and an Alabama man is scheduled to be executed after dropping all of his appeals. If all three executions proceed, it will mark the first time in over 15 years that more than three judicial killings have occurred in the U.S. in a single day.
