Texas

I was looking at the list of scheduled executions for the remainder of the year. Get this, Texas has already executed 13 men this year. There are three months left in the calendar year. In the month of October, Texas is scheduled to execute 5 men. The total is the same for November and then in December the state is scheduled to execute 1 woman. That's 11 more and almost half of its total executions for the one year. It is also 1 more than the total of all other states combined during those same three months (of what is scheduled thus far anyway).
