Table/chart versus bullet-list format?

Would this list be better formatted as a table/chart? Or is it good the way that it is now, as a bullet-list? Thoughts? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:36, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Anthony Kirkland

† Note: In the case of Anthony Kirkland, the "Age of Offender At Offense" reflects Kirkland's age when he committed the first murder for which he was sentenced to death. Kirkland, a serial killer, was convicted of killing three women and two teenage girls between 1987 and 2009. He received the death penalty for murdering the two teenage victims: the first on May 4, 2006, when Kirkland was 37 years old; the second, some three years later, on March 7, 2009, when he was age 40. Kirkland was arrested on March 8, 2009, and sentenced to death on March 31, 2010. As of November 11, 2017, he has been incarcerated for 15 years and has been on Ohio's Death Row for 14 years. If Kirkland had been executed, as scheduled, on January 11, 2017, he would have been incarcerated for 7 years and on Ohio's Death Row for 6 years.

Anthony Edward Sowell

† Note: In the case of Anthony Edward Sowell, the "Age of Offender At Offense" reflects Sowell's age at the time of his first capital offense. Sowell, a serial killer, was convicted of the murders of eleven women whose bodies were found in his house. His first known murder victim was killed c. May 2007, when Sowell was 47 years old. His last known murder victim was killed c. September 2009, when he was 50 years old. Sowell was arrested on October 31, 2009, and sentenced to death on August 12, 2011. As of November 11, 2017, he has been incarcerated for 15 years and has been on Ohio's Death Row for 13 years. If Sowell is executed, as scheduled, on November 18, 2020, he will have been incarcerated for 11 years and on Ohio's Death Row for 9 years.

Pennsylvania and Automatic Execution dates

States like Pennsylvania hand out automatic execution dates whenever an inmate finishes a round of appeals.The execution date isn't a true date and it will not be carried out, it is not meant to be carried out either. Pennsylvania along with a few other states should be ignored or just not listed due to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:1:E237:1D14:B1CC:CDC9:E60E (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

About Michael Pruitt

At the time of this writing, this article lists Michael Pruitt as being scheduled to be executed on December 29, 2017. However, the source cited within the "References"-section ([1]) lists Michael Pruitt as "STAYED (LEGALLY PREMATURE WARRANT)" within the "Executions Scheduled for 2017"-section. Furthermore, within the source's "Stays of Execution 2017"-section, it lists Michael Pruitt and and says "Stay granted by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 4, 2017 to provide Pruitt the opportunity to pursue federal habeas corpus challenges to his conviction and sentence that are available to all criminal defendants.". If Michael Pruitt's execution has been stayed, shouldn't he be removed from the "List of offenders scheduled to be executed in 2017"-section and added to the "List of offenders previously scheduled to be executed"-section?

About Austin Gregory Myers

At the time of this writing, Austin Gregory Myers is listed within the "2022"-section of this article's "List of offenders scheduled to be executed"-section. However, at the time of this writing, the Death Penalty Information Center - Executions Scheduled for 2019-source lists Austin Myers's July 20, 2022-execution date as "DATE REMOVED". So shouldn't he be removed from the "2022"-section of this article's "List of offenders scheduled to be executed"-section? I am not sure what the "Age of offender"-averages would be (This is why I am bringing this up on the talk page instead of editing the article myself). Heart of Destruction (talk) 12:37, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

As a related issue, we should not be calculating our own average ages for these offenders. A case could be made that median age at execution is more meaningful than the mean age, but we should list neither if no reliable source lists them. We have “age at execution” listed for all of the non-executed people who are listed as no longer having execution dates. Larry Hockett (Talk) 11:22, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

About Oscar Franklin Smith

About the "Method"-sections for Ohio's scheduled executions

I have found a source from AP NEWS that says that lethal injection is no longer an option for Ohio executions.

Should the "Method"-sections for Ohio's scheduled executions within this article be changed to reflect that lethal injection is no longer an option for them?

Zane Floyd and method

Should this really be listed as "TBD"? My understanding is that NV's mode of death is lethal injection. No ifs ands or buts. It's just Zane Floyd trying to change that. But maybe he's gotten sufficiently far in his quest that NV really has no official mode of death anymore? YellowAries2010 (talk) 18:13, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

YellowAries2010, Sources say he is trying to request execution by firing squad though. Even if his request is denied there is no confirmation as of today. Until we know more I think it should be left as it is. Honestly, it's pretty unlikely he'll even be executed anyway. Inexpiable (talk) 18:21, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

DOB Sources

Putting these here for my own reference and for any editor who wants to add an inmate to the list when an execution is scheduled but is unsure of a DOB. DOB's are harder to obtain now for certain states. For states like Texas and Florida they are easy to find but for states like Arizona, South Carolina and Alabama the DOC no longer releases this info. Thankfully for some states they can be seen using the Wayback Machine. I've only added states likely to schedule an execution, federal government and California are highly unlikely to schedule another execution.

Removal of averages and Previous scheduled offenders sections

I am less active on Wikipedia now and most people don't seem to want to update these sections. I propose removing the previous scheduled offenders section altogether, as executions are stayed all the time and updating this list is very time consuming. It is ultimately deleted each year anyway. This article should focus purely on upcoming scheduled executions alone, and if executions are stayed they should just be removed from the list.

In addition, the average section at the bottom of each scheduled execution table for each year should be removed. Updating these numbers is very time consuming and with executions being added and stayed all the time this is constantly changing. I think it would better to keep the averages only for executions that have occurred. An example of how it would look from now on for the 2025 year:

Number	Date of execution	Name	Date of birth	Age of offender			Gender	Ethnicity	State	Method	Source
				At execution	At offense	Age difference
1	January 22, 2025	Sean Carter	March 9, 1979	45	18	27	Male	Black	Ohio	To be determined	Profile: [4]
2	March 19, 2025	Shawn Michael Grate	August 8, 1976	48	40	8		White			Profile: [5]
3	May 20, 2025	James D. Worley	April 8, 1959	66	57	9					Profile: [6]

What are peoples thoughts? I propose keeping averages only for executions that have occurred. If no feedback I will change this within a month. Inexpiable (talk) 10:03, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm a little late to this, and it's already been modified. I, personally, liked this information charted rather than in paragraph form. Made it easier to keep track of cancelled executions (one of which has apparently been taken off the list today). It's just a piece of data I'm curious about. Plus, for those who are surviving victims of these criminals, if they are looking here for info, they might like to see that short summary of what happened to move or cancel their execution. The paragraphs would be okay, but as they are now, they are vague, referring sometimes to "one execution" rather than "the execution of...".

Just some thoughts. I admire those who put forth the effort at pages like this. YellowAries2010 (talk) 17:02, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

The problem is the info is deleted every year anyway so its a lot of work for nothing in the long run. With the situation in Ohio, every single one of those executions will be stayed indefinitely so it becomes tedious to keep updating the info. This article is about scheduled executions not stayed ones so a separate article would be more appropriate if someone really wants to keep track of that information. Also the constant average changes was becoming unbearable so now that will only be tracked for executions that actually go ahead. Inexpiable (talk) 18:06, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

About James D. Tench

At the time of this writing, James D. Tench is listed within the "2022"-section of this article's "List of offenders scheduled to be executed"-section. However, at the time of this writing, the Upcoming Executions-source ([7]) lists James D. Tench's September 14, 2022 execution date as "Legally premature death warrant. STAYED". So shouldn't he be removed from the "2022"-section of this article's "List of offenders scheduled to be executed"-section?

About Oklahoma's scheduled executions

At the time of this writing, this article lists seven executions scheduled in Oklahoma (John Marion Grant on October 7, 2021, Julius Darius Jones on October 28, 2021, Bigler Jobe Stouffer II on November 18, 2021, Wade Greely Lay on December 9, 2021, Donald Anthony Grant on December 30, 2021, Gilbert Ray Postelle on January 20, 2022 and James Allen Coddington on February 10, 2022). However, I have found a source that claims that the Oklahoma attorney general's office has pushed back its timetable for resuming executions, with the attorney general asking that John Marion Grant's execution date be set for October 28 or November 18 and that dates be set for six other executions at three-week intervals. Should John Marion Grant's execution date within this article be changed to something like "October 28, 2021/November 18, 2021" or something like that with the other Oklahoma executions being listed with three-week intervals?

About John Charles Eichinger in Pennsylvania

Should he really be removed from the list?

Execution dates by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Should the "old" dates of the inmates (excluded confirmed dates: Glossip, Cannon, Sanchez, Hancock, Ryder, Smith and Lay) stay in the list, the court has written that they "have not been confirmed" and they would "be addressed at an appropriate time in the future." For me this souds like they would be canceled and newly set!? My personal opinion: They should be removed until there are new dates. Klein Besserwisserchen (talk) 09:14, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

All "old" dates are removed now. Klein Besserwisserchen (talk) 06:39, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Although the dates will be later addressed, they are still official death warrants and have not been cancelled. Drummond also said that only the next executions in the future will be changed and others will be reviewed at a later date so don’t think they have been cancelled. That is also the position of the DPIC which I noticed is often sourced here. Dashing24 (talk) 16:13, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

@Dashing24: Yes, some execution dates were pushed back, but most of the dates (phases three, four and five) are, as the order of the court reads, "not confirmed" anymore - they are not intended to be carried out anymore or just will expire and new dates will be set. In this cases they should be removed from the list. You can compare this to dezember when G.R. Pizzuto jr. was removed from the list because it was known that the death warrant would expire without an execution. In general I understand what you mean, maybe there should be a section with cancelled execution or a mark to show executions which definitely will not be carried out - but this isn't my decision. Klein Besserwisserchen (talk) 16:59, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

They might still be carried out but it is sensible to wait for an update from the court. Dashing24 (talk) 08:01, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

About Oklahoma's scheduled executions

At the time of this writing, this article says "On June 10, 2022, the Attorney General of Oklahoma, John M. O'Connor, asked the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to set execution dates for 25 death row inmates. He requested the executions occur every four weeks on a Thursday, commencing on August 25.[3] On July 1, 2022, the schedule was confirmed, with all 25 executions scheduled to occur before the end of 2024.[2]". However, as of this writing, four of those death row inmates have been executed, another seven have had their execution dates delayed, and the other fourteen are not (at the time of this writing) listed in this article. For these reasons, I would like to propose that the stuff about John M. O'Connor asking the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to set the execution dates and the executions being set be removed from the "Summary of scheduled executions"-section.

About Ohio's scheduled executions

At the time of this writing, the source cited for Ohio's scheduled executions ([11]) lists eight people who (at the time of this writing) are not listed in this article: Anthony Kirkland (September 18, 2024), Arron Lawson (January 6, 2026), Joseph McAlpin (May 19, 2026), Kristofer Garrett (January 27, 2027), Michael Madison (May 15, 2024), Shawn Grate (March 19, 2025), Terry Froman (November 13, 2024) and Victoria Drain (November 24, 2026). While I understand why Shawn Grate is not (at the time of this writing) listed in this article (at the time of this writing, the Upcoming Executions source lists Shawn Grate's March 19, 2025 execution date as "Legally premature - STAYED"), why are Anthony Kirkland's, Arron Lawson's, Joseph McAlpin's, Kristofer Garrett's, Michael Madison's, Terry Froman's and Victoria Drain's execution dates not (at the time of this writing) listed in this article?

Alabama issues death warrant without date after new law that changed the rules for executions

The Supreme Court of Alabama now issues death warrants without the exact date because Kay Ivey now will determine the date and time. A few days ago such one was issued for James Barber, but now it isn't possible to write him in the list. If alabama continues the practice of executing on Thursdays and observes the 30-day period from execution order to the day of execution, the likely date will be June 8. Should I put him on list for this date? Maybe with notice? Klein Besserwisserchen (talk) 16:33, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• The source says sometime after June 2. DPIC lists it as June 3, (that is the date it should probably be listed as for now), even though it's unlikely to occur on that exact date, it can be changed when we know more. Inexpiable (talk) 17:29, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Add or Change: At Offence to Time on Death Row/At Initial Sentencing

Many look to Time from offence to sentence as how long the appeals process has taken. However in many cases people get sentenced many years after the crime, see Dixon in Arizona. For a better picture on specifically how long the appeals process takes; I suggest a Time on Death Row or Time from Initial Sentencing (mutually exclusive terms). In an ideal world I would add this but am asking here to make sure people are okay with an expansion (or replacement as the less preferable alternative). Dashing24 (talk) 10:58, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Larry Hockett: It's not speculation, attorney generals have filed motions for their dates to be set. Christophervincent01 (talk) 01:17, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I think this is speculation: An Attorney General (in some states), County or Districs Attorneys (in other states) can request execution dates. But this doesn´t automatically imply they will actually get a date because other instances have to decide about it ( State Supreme Courts etc.). So the question is where you draw the line between inmates that will receive a date and those who won´t receive one for sure. It looks like you wan´t to take the request of a date as this line. But that is quiete arbitrary. Furthermore, in other states executions are not predictable (e.g. Florida). So would you like to add all inmates on Florida´s death row with exhausted appeals if DeSantis would say he´d like to executed the ´´bad apples´´ on death row? Because he actually did.

So my problem here is the wording. The idea in general is not bad, no. How about this: Instead of ´´list of people set to receive an execution date´´ how about this: ´´list of people with a pending request to set a date of execution´´, or at least something like that... this would set a clear line which inmate should be added and it would not imply that they will get a date of execution Klein Besserwisserchen (talk) 09:12, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Pending motions in South Carolina

The source listed does not say there are pending motions for this five inmates, it only states they have no appeals left. I know this may sound a bit narrow-minded, but the docket simply doesn‘t show it. The source doesn‘t indicate what the article tells because at this moment it isn‘t true. even if it will be trie in a few hours or a few days. So my question: Keep it or delete it because of a few hours or days? As said above it is a question of time that the motions will be there. My opinion: Even if this is true, we are fact-based.
