Rare Triple Execution Carried Out Across Oklahoma, Tennessee and Alabama in One Day
TL;DR Summary
On Aug. 13, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Alabama carried out lethal-injection executions for death-row inmates—Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, Anthony Hines and Jeremy Williams—within about six hours, marking the first triple execution in 16 years. Cuesta-Rodriguez killed his pregnant wife in 2003; Hines murdered a motel maid in 1985; Williams killed a 5-year-old girl in 2021. Observers say the timing is largely coincidental; the last triple execution was in 2010. The report notes that many recent executions involve victims who were women or girls and that several dozen more executions are anticipated this year.
