Three States Schedule Executions for the Same Day

On August 13, 2026, Oklahoma executed Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 70; Tennessee executed Darrell Hines, 66, roughly an hour later; Alabama scheduled Jeremy Williams, 42, to die the same day. U.S. executions rose from 25 in 2024 to 47 in 2025. No federal authority coordinates state execution schedules — the convergence reflects independent decisions by separate states.
