List of people executed in the United States in 2001 explained

This is a list of people executed in the United States in 2001. Sixty-six people were executed in the United States in 2001. Eighteen of them were in the state of Oklahoma, while only seventeen of them were in the state of Texas. Three (Wanda Jean Allen, Marilyn Kay Plantz, and Lois Nadean Smith) were female; all three were executed in Oklahoma.[1] [2] One notable execution was of domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh, 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]
