The United States has witnessed a significant increase in death penalty executions since 2025, with 11 states executing 40 individuals in the past 10 months, surpassing the 25 executions recorded in 2024. This surge in executions is largely attributed to the policies implemented by former President Trump, who reinstated federal capital punishment and encouraged states to expedite executions. The state of Florida, under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, has executed 14 individuals, setting a new record for the state. Furthermore, 15 states have jointly petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn its 2008 decision, seeking to expand the application of the death penalty to crimes beyond murder. Experts predict that the pro-death penalty stance of Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices will not hinder the execution plans of individual states. As the US continues to grapple with the complexities of capital punishment, the question remains: is this a new era of 'death penalty renaissance' or a reckless disregard for human life?
