According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Texas leads all other states in the total number of individuals that it has executed since 1976. The breakdown is as follows:
1. Texas: 405
2. Virginia: 98
3. Oklahoma: 86
4. Missouri: 66
5. Florida: 64
6. North Carolina: 43
7. Georgia: 40
8. Alabama: 38
9. South Carolina: 37
10. Louisiana: 27
11. Arkansas: 27
12. Ohio: 26
13. Arizona: 23
14. Indiana: 19
15. Delaware: 14
16. California: 13
17. Illinois: 12
18. Nevada: 12
19. Mississippi: 8
20. Utah: 6
What is particularly troubling about the fact that Texas has executed more than four times the number of individuals executed by Virginia--the second state on the list--is that Texas currently accounts for fourteen percent of the estimated 216 DNA-based exonerations in the United States. And Dallas County, with seventeen exonerations from genetic testing, tops every other local jurisdiction in the U.S. since 2001.
