List of people executed in the United States in 2001
This is a list of people executed in the United States in 2001 . Sixty-six people were executed in the United States in 2001. Eighteen of them were in the state of Oklahoma , while only seventeen of them were in the state of Texas . Three (Wanda Jean Allen , Marilyn Kay Plantz, and Lois Nadean Smith) were female; all three were executed in Oklahoma.[ 1] [ 2] One notable execution was of domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh , who was responsible for carrying out the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. McVeigh's execution was the first to be carried out by the United States federal government since 1963.[ 3] Only one execution occurred in September, as several were postponed due to the September 11 attacks .[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] The attack on the Pentagon caused federal offices, including the United States Supreme Court , to shut down.[ 7]
