Five death row inmates across the U.S. are expected to be executed in the coming days.
Five death row inmates in the U.S. are expected to be executed in the coming days, potentially bringing the total for the year to 18.The upcoming executions are scheduled for Friday, Tuesday and Thursday in South Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Alabama and Oklahoma.'I hope we never get so used to executions that this number is ever normal,' Robin Maher, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, told Newsweek.
'Williams had maintained his innocence in the incident, but he agreed to plead no contest last month in exchange for a revised sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole.The Missouri Attorney General's Office opposed the effort, which was later rejected by the Missouri Supreme Court.'This case is emblematic of the corrupting influence of electoral politics and the role it can sometimes play in death penalty cases,' Maher said.
