It would be the first time in nearly 16 years that three U.S. executions occur on the same day. Tennessee, Alabama and Oklahoma are set to execute inmates Thursday, marking the first time in nearly 16 years that three people would be put to death on the same day in the United States. The executions come as a small number of states, including the three with scheduled lethal injections Thursday, drive execution numbers in the United States. Maher said it is highly unusual to have three executions on one day, although it is largely a scheduling coincidence. Alabama is scheduled to execute Jeremy Williams, 42, by lethal injection for the 2021 rape and murder of a 5-year-old Georgia girl.
