DEVELOPING: Executions Surge in 2025 as Florida Sees Dramatic Rise

Breaking News: Executions Surge in 2025 as Florida Sees Dramatic Rise Executions in the United States have nearly doubled in 2025, with Florida carrying out more prisoners in a 12-month span than ever before. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, 46 executions have been carried out across the country so far this year. The dramatic rise in executions is largely attributed to Florida, which has seen a significant spike in executions in 2025. The state has executed more prisoners in a single year than ever before, with the exact number still unknown. The Death Penalty Information Center, which tracks capital punishment, released its year-end report on Monday, highlighting a complicated picture of the death penalty in the United States. Public support for the death penalty remains at a low point, yet executions have ticked upward. "This is a real disconnect between what the American public wants and what elected officials are doing with the death penalty," said Robin Maher, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center. The group does not take a position on the death penalty itself but is critical of how it has been applied. The exact number of executions in Florida is still unknown, but the state's dramatic rise in executions has sparked concerns about the application of the death penalty. The Death Penalty Information Center is expected to release more detailed information in the coming days. This is a developing story. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
