The mainstream perspective:
- The upcoming execution of Freddie Eugene Owens in South Carolina for a 1997 murder, with his only hope for avoiding death being a commutation of his sentence by Governor Henry McMaster.
- Five death row inmates in five US states are scheduled to be executed within a week, a rare occurrence, with the first execution taking place in South Carolina, followed by two more in Missouri and Texas, and Alabama and Oklahoma set to carry out executions this week.
- A Missouri man, Marcellus Williams, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Tuesday after the US Supreme Court rejected his last-ditch appeal, despite his claims of innocence in the 1998 murder of Lisha Gayle.
- The article reports on the scheduled executions of death row inmates in five states - Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas - within a span of one week, defying the trend of decline in the use and support of the death penalty in the U.S.
- Travis Mullis, 38, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection for the murder of his 3-month-old son, Alijah, in 2008, despite his history of mental illness and repeated attempts to waive his right to appeal.
- A Texas man has been executed for fatally stabbing twin teenage girls in 1989, in a case that drew widespread attention and outrage at the time.
