DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – A court reprieve stopped the lethal injection of a Texas prisoner, scheduled for this month.
That means 2017 will end with 23 inmates executed in the United States, slightly up, from a year ago. Texas has carried out seven executions this year, making it the nation’s most active death penalty state.
Arkansas carried out four executions, followed by Alabama and Florida with three, Ohio and Virginia with 2, and Georgia and Missouri with one.
