Alabama Executes Man Tied to 5-Year-Old Girl as U.S. Marks Triple-Execution Day
Alabama executed Jeremy Williams for the 2021 rape and murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland, the last of three U.S. executions on Thursday as Tennessee and Oklahoma carried out lethal injections. It marked the first triple‑execution day since 2010, amid a trend of rising executions in the U.S.; through Aug. 13, 2026, 22 inmates have been executed that year.
