Notable executions

2014 was a notable year for executions. A total of ten death row inmates were executed in Missouri throughout the year, the most carried out by Missouri in a single year since capital punishment resumed in 1976.[38] 2014 also marked the first time since 2002 in which two women were executed during a single year. Suzanne Margaret Basso and Lisa Ann Coleman, who were both sentenced to death in Texas, were executed just seven months apart.[39] One notable execution was of convicted murderer Thomas Knight, who was executed in Florida. Knight spent thirty-nine years on death row before his execution was carried out.[40]

There were also three botched executions in 2014:
