Eleven people, ten male and one female, were executed in the United States in 2021, all by lethal injection.
[14][15] Three executions in Texas were also stayed to review intellectual disability claims.
[19][20][21][22] Three executions in Ohio were reprieved due to the unofficial moratorium in place on capital punishment in Ohio by Governor Mike DeWine, due to problems in securing the drugs needed for lethal injections.
Attorneys from both sides agreed to the stay of execution until the hearing concluded in November 2021.
The new capital punishment law in the state requires inmates to pick between the electric chair or firing squad.
