List of people executed in the United States in 2001

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sixty-six people, sixty-three male and three female, Wanda Jean Allen, Marilyn Kay Plantz, and Lois Nadean Smith, were executed in the United States in 2001, all by lethal injection. Oklahoma, eighteen executions, and Texas, seventeen executions, had the majority of executions carried out in 2001.[1][2] One notable execution, Timothy McVeigh, was a convicted domestic terrorist who was responsible for carrying out the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. McVeigh's execution was the first to be carried out by the United States federal government since 1963.[3] Only one execution occurred in September, as several were postponed due to the September 11 attacks.[4][5][6] The attack on the Pentagon caused federal offices, including the United States Supreme Court, to shut down.[7] The state of New Mexico carried out its last execution in 2001 before abolishing the death penalty in 2009.
