- Four inmates are scheduled for execution between Tuesday and Friday across Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, and South Carolina in mid-June 2025.

- Gregory Hunt, 65, faces nitrogen gas execution in Alabama for the 1998 beating death of Karen Lane; Anthony Wainwright, 54, faces lethal injection in Florida for 1994 kidnapping and rape.
- Stephen Stanko, 57, scheduled for lethal injection Friday in South Carolina for the 2006 murder of Henry Turner, and John Hanson, 61, set for execution Thursday in Oklahoma for a 1999 fatal shooting.
- If carried out, these executions will contribute to this year's rising death penalty count, reflecting increased state and federal efforts to resume capital punishment.
