周四，田纳西州与俄克拉荷马州在相隔30分钟的时间内先后处决了在押犯，随后阿拉巴马州于当日晚些时候也执行了死刑，这是自2010年以来美国各州首次在单日通过注射死刑处决三名男子。
田纳西州的被处决男子因1985年杀害一名 motel 保洁员被判处死刑，俄克拉荷马州的被处决男子则因2003年杀害女友伏法。阿拉巴马州的被处决男子因杀害一名5岁女童被执行死刑，他曾付钱给女童的母亲以实施虐待。
单日处决三名囚犯虽是行刑日程巧合，但也反映出美国死刑执行数量上升的趋势。2025年共有11个州合计处决了47人，为2009年以来的最高值。
上一次单日执行三起死刑是在2010年1月7日，当时路易斯安那州、俄亥俄州和德克萨斯州分别处决了一名在押犯。2018年也曾安排过单日三起死刑，但由于一名德克萨斯州男子获得缓刑，以及阿拉巴马州监狱工作人员出现静脉输液管问题，最终仅有一起行刑得以执行。
据死刑信息中心的数据，截至今年目前，全美已累计执行21起死刑，包括周四的三起，另有近12起死刑已排定日程。佛罗里达州2026年迄今已执行12起死刑，数量超过其他所有州的总和。今年7月，佛罗里达州还曾在单日执行两起死刑。
将于明年1月卸任的佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯，去年监督了创纪录的19起死刑执行，这是自1976年美国恢复死刑以来，佛罗里达州单一年度内处决人数最多的一届州长。
俄克拉荷马州囚犯对2003年杀害女友行为表示悔恨
70岁的卡洛斯·奎斯塔-罗德里格斯在俄克拉荷马州农村麦卡莱斯特的州立监狱通过注射死刑被处决。他是该州今年第三名被处决的囚犯。
奎斯塔-罗德里格斯转头看向到场的两名亲属，用口型说了“我爱你”，但他表示没有临终遗言。
他的呼吸在数分钟内变得困难，随后于中部时间上午10点13分被宣布死亡。
奎斯塔-罗德里格斯因2003年在俄克拉荷马城的家中开枪射杀女友而被判有罪，他表示对杀害奥尔皮娅·费舍尔感到悔恨，并曾对减刑委员会表示不希望获得宽大处理。他的律师称，他在古巴度过了艰难的童年，患有脑损伤和创伤后应激障碍。
43岁的费舍尔原本打算离开奎斯塔-罗德里格斯，他先是朝她的一只眼睛开枪，随后等待约8分钟，听她呼救后，又朝她的另一只眼睛开了致命一枪。
费舍尔的女儿辛西娅·艾伦和卡佳·沃利斯在一份声明中表示，希望此次行刑能提高人们对预防家庭暴力的重视，并以“抚养我们的家庭，践行她教导我们的爱与对上帝的信仰”来纪念母亲。
田纳西州男子在此前一起行刑被叫停后仍遭处决
安东尼·达雷尔·海因斯在田纳西州被注射死刑，他因1985年杀害凯瑟琳·珍·詹金斯被判有罪，并于中部时间上午10点43分被宣布死亡。
54岁的詹金斯当时在金斯顿斯普林斯的一家 motel 做保洁员，海因斯持刀将其杀害。
当被问及是否有遗言时，海因斯先说“现在不太方便，谢谢”，随后又说“替我向我儿子问好”，之后便咽了气。海因斯的儿子见证了此次行刑，这是他在3岁后与父亲时隔多年重逢的第四天。
死刑室的帷幕拉开约四分钟后，海因斯向他的精神顾问问道：“我还需要等多久？”不久后，目击者听到了呻吟声和沉重的呼吸声，精神顾问将手放在他的肩上，为他祈祷。
行刑结束后，詹金斯的儿子详细描述了母亲当时仅用一个塑料喷瓶对抗持刀袭击的经过。
“我希望他也感受到了剧烈的痛苦，因为他对我母亲所做的一切，与他刚刚可能经历的痛苦相比根本不值一提，”丹尼斯·詹金斯说道。
海因斯被行刑的三个月前，另一名男子的注射死刑因医护人员耗时一个多小时仍无法建立备用静脉输液管而被迫中止。
66岁的海因斯向州长和法院提起上诉但未获成功，他称负责5月那场行刑的医生资质不合格，很可能也会在自己的行刑过程中出现失误。
阿拉巴马州囚犯对强奸杀害女童罪名供认不讳
阿拉巴马州处决了杰里米·威廉姆斯，他因2021年强奸并杀害一名佐治亚州女童被判有罪。
“我感谢上帝宽恕了我的罪孽，让我能平静地与他相见，”威廉姆斯在行刑床上说道。他前后摇晃着头，面带微笑，似乎在唱歌或说话，随后身体逐渐静止下来。
他的一名家属全程安静哭泣，威廉姆斯于当地时间下午6点16分被宣布死亡。
威廉姆斯对杀害卡玛丽·霍兰德的罪名供认不讳，他拒绝上诉，并要求执行死刑判决。在给阿拉巴马州总检察长办公室的信件中，威廉姆斯请求立即执行死刑，以便受害者家属“能获得他们应得的某种程度的了结与慰藉”。
检方称，42岁的威廉姆斯向女童的母亲支付2500美元，以换取与该女童发生性行为，随后对其实施强奸并勒死，还将袭击过程拍摄了下来。
“看到视频里他对这个婴儿所做的一切，一个成年男子对孩子做出的暴行，令人震惊、可怕且恶心，”拉塞尔县地方检察官理查德·钱西说道，“这简直是邪恶到了极致。”
女童的母亲因认罪参与性交易，目前正在服20年刑期。
威廉姆斯还被怀疑2005年在阿拉斯加州杀害了自己的幼女，但直到2022年才对其提起诉讼。
卡玛丽的父亲科里·霍兰德表示，女儿是一个活泼开朗的孩子，她热爱公主主题的事物，总能逗人发笑。
“她喜欢玩换装游戏，喜欢所有的万圣节服装和我给她买的公主玩偶，她喜欢所有少女风格的东西，”科里·霍兰德说道。
这是阿拉巴马州今年的首例死刑执行。今年6月，一名联邦法官裁定氮气窒息行刑方法违宪，导致原定于当时进行的氮气窒息死刑被叫停。
3 states carry out executions in a single day, first time since 2010

Tennessee and Oklahoma executed inmates within 30 minutes of each other on Thursday, followed by Alabama later in the day, marking the first time since 2010 that U.S. states executed three men by lethal injection in a single day.
The Tennessee man was executed for killing a maid at a motel in 1985 and the Oklahoma man for killing his girlfriend in 2003. In Alabama, a man was executed for killing a 5-year-old girl he paid her mother to abuse.
Having three executions in one day is a coincidence in scheduling, but it also reflects a trend of increased executions in the U.S. Eleven states executed a total of 47 people in 2025, the highest number since 2009.
The last time three executions were held on the same day was Jan. 7, 2010, when Louisiana, Ohio and Texas put inmates to death. Three executions were scheduled on the same day in 2018, but only one went forward after a Texas man was granted a reprieve and prison officials in Alabama had problems with the IV line.
Nationwide, a total of 21 executions have been carried out so far this year, including Thursday’s, and nearly a dozen more are scheduled, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Florida has conducted 12 executions to date in 2026 — more than all other states combined. In July, Florida carried out two executions in a single day.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who leaves office in January, oversaw a record 19 executions last year, more in a single year than any other Florida governor since the reinstatement of the death penalty in the U.S. in 1976.
Oklahoma prisoner said he regretted 2003 killing of girlfriend
Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 70, died by lethal injection at the state’s penitentiary in rural McAlester, Oklahoma. He was the third person put to death this year in the state.

Cuesta-Rodriguez turned his head to look at his two relatives who attended and mouthed “I love you,” but said he had no last words.
His breathing was labored for several minutes before he was pronounced dead at 10:13 a.m. CT.
Convicted of fatally shooting his girlfriend at their Oklahoma City home in 2003, Cuesta-Rodriguez said he regretted killing Olimpia Fisher and told a board he didn’t want clemency. His attorneys said he had a difficult childhood in Cuba and suffered from brain damage and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Fisher, 43, planned to leave Cuesta-Rodriguez when he shot her in one eye and then waited about eight minutes as she screamed for help before firing the fatal shot into her other eye.
Fisher’s daughters, Cinthya Allen and Katya Wallis, said in a statement that they hope the execution brings awareness to preventing domestic violence and they honor their mother by “raising our families to reflect the love and faith in God that she taught us.”
Tennessee man challenged execution after previous one was halted
Anthony Darrell Hines was executed by lethal injection in Tennessee for the 1985 murder of Catherine Jean Jenkins. He was pronounced dead at 10:43 a.m. CT.

Hines stabbed Jenkins to death while the 54-year-old was working as a motel maid in Kingston Springs.
Hines said “not right now, thank you” when asked if he had final words, then said, “Tell my son hello” before he died. Hines’ son witnessed the execution. He reconnected with his father four days earlier after not seeing him since he was 3 years old.
About four minutes after the curtain to the death chamber opened, Hines asked his spiritual adviser: “How long do I have?” Not long afterward, witnesses heard groans and heavy breathing as the spiritual adviser put her hands on his shoulders and prayed over him.
After the execution, Jenkins’ son detailed how his mother was killed with only a plastic spray bottle to defend against the knife attacks.
“I hope he felt severe pain because what he did to my mother is nothing compared to what he may have just gone through,” Dennis Jenkins said.
Hines’ execution comes just three months after the attempted lethal injection of another man was stopped as medical staff couldn’t establish a backup IV line for more than an hour.
Hines, 66, appealed unsuccessfully to the governor and the courts, saying that the doctor who oversaw the May execution was unqualified and likely to botch his execution as well.
Alabama inmate pleaded guilty to rape and killing of girl
Alabama executed Jeremy Williams for the 2021 rape and murder of a young Georgia girl.
“I want to thank God for forgiving me for my sins so I can meet him in peace,” Williams said on the gurney. He rocked his head back and forth and smiled and appeared to sing or speak before slowing become still.
A member of his family cried quietly throughout, and Williams was pronounced dead at 6:16 p.m. local time.
Williams, who pleaded guilty to killing Kamarie Holland, declined to appeal and requested that his death sentence be carried out. In letters to the Alabama attorney general’s office, Williams sought an immediate execution date so his victim’s family “may have some type of closure and satisfaction which they deserve.”
Williams, 42, raped and strangled Holland after offering her mother $2,500 for the child to perform a sex act, prosecutors said, adding he filmed his attack.
“To see on video what he did to this baby, what a grown man could do to a child, it’s shocking, it’s horrible, it’s disgusting,” Russell County District Attorney Richard Chancey said. “It’s just a level of evil.”
The girl’s mother is serving a 20-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to sex trafficking.
Williams was also a suspect in the 2005 death of his infant daughter in Alaska but charges were not filed until 2022.
Corey Holland, Kamarie’s father, said she was an exuberant child who loved princesses and made people laugh.
“She loved playing dress-up, all her little Halloween costumes and her princess stuff I got her. She liked anything girly,” Corey Holland said.
It was Alabama’s first execution of the year. A nitrogen gas execution was put on hold in June after a federal judge ruled the method unconstitutional.
