Florida Executes 10th Inmate in 2025, Breaking State Record
Written by Site Hub on August 21, 2025
Florida executed Kayle Bates, a 67-year-old convicted murderer, marking the state’s 10th execution in 2025—the most in a single year. Bates was convicted of abducting and killing Janet White in 1982. His appeals, including arguments of racial discrimination and mental impairment, were denied. Florida now leads the nation in executions this year, with two more planned. Nationwide, 29 executions have occurred so far in 2025. Critics say the spike in executions highlights disparities in capital punishment practices, while Florida’s government maintains the procedures are just and legal.
