💨 Abstract

So far in 2025, 26 executions have been carried out with 10 more scheduled across seven states. Florida leads with upcoming executions, including a man who murdered his family and one who abducted and killed a woman decades ago. The increase in executions is attributed to aggressive Republican governors and an executive order by President Trump. Most executions occur in states with Republican governors. Notable cases include executions by lethal gas, firing squad, and a controversial case involving alleged shaken baby syndrome.
