Three executions are scheduled for one day in Indiana, Florida and Alabama
The Associated Press reported that all three states have executions planned for the same day.
Three people are scheduled to be executed on the same day in Indiana, Florida and Alabama, according to the Associated Press.
What happened: The AP reported late Wednesday that the three states each have an execution planned for one date. The report did not identify the prisoners or say which date the executions are scheduled for.
Why it matters: Executions are set state by state, through separate court and prison systems. Here, three of those systems have placed executions on the same day.
The key detail: The available AP report gives a total of three planned executions, one in each state. It does not establish whether all three will ultimately take place.
The next detail to look for is the date attached to the three scheduled executions.
