The U.S. is fourth...

...in the number of executions taking place last year. We executed 39 people. China topped the list, followed by Iraq and Iran. Numbers for these countries is unavailable. It is thought by Amnesty, the originators of the report,  that China executed thousands. 
Texas accounted for 41% of our executions, with Florida being second. The South as whole accounted for 82 percent overall.
