Oklahoma carries out first of 3 executions scheduled for the same day in the U.S.
The last time three executions were held on the same day was Jan. 7, 2010, when Louisiana, Ohio and Texas put inmates to death.
Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, a 70-year-old Oklahoma man, was executed on Thursday by the state of Oklahoma, marking the first of three US executions scheduled for that day. The execution came just one hour after Darrell Hines, a 66-year-old man from Tennessee, was put to death for the 1985 murder of a motel maid and mother of four, Catherine Jean Jackson Jenkins.
The third execution, scheduled for the same day in Alabama, involved Jeremy Williams, a 42-year-old man who raped and murdered a five-year-old girl in Georgia in 2021.
