Tennessee and Oklahoma carried out executions within 30 minutes of each other on Thursday for murders committed in 1985 and 2003. CBS News reports 47 executions across 11 states in 2025, the highest annual total since 2009, with Florida accounting for 12 of 21 executions nationwide in 2026 to date. Claims that Alabama also executed an inmate the same day and that this marked the first three-state execution day since 2010 are disputed by USA Today.
