- Michael Bell was executed by lethal injection in Florida at age 54 for killing two people over 30 years ago.
- His execution brought the total number of US executions in 2025 to 26, marking a ten-year high.
- The Death Penalty Information Center attributes the increase to decisions by a few elected officials in select states.
- More than half of executions took place in Florida, Texas, and South Carolina, mostly by lethal injection, with some using nitrogen or firing squads.
The increase in executions this year is the result of the decisions of a few elected officials in a small number of states.— The Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) explains this in a report.
