Justice Sotomayor
"After seventeen years without a single federal execution, the Government has executed twelve people since July," she wrote.
"They are Daniel Lee, Wesley Purkey, Dustin Honken, Lezmond Mitchell, Keith Nelson, William LeCroy Jr., Christopher Vialva, Orlando Hall, Brandon Bernard, Alfred Bourgeois, Lisa Montgomery, and, just last night, Corey Johnson."
"Today, Dustin Higgs will become the thirteenth," she said. Higgs was executed shortly after the court's decision was filed.
Sotomayor noted that the U.S. "will have executed more than three times as many people in the last six months than it had in the previous six decades."
