One (Daryl Keith Holton) was executed via electrocution. In September 2007, executions in the United States were halted, due to certiorari in "Baze v. Rees", which questioned the constitutionality of lethal injection. The U.S. Supreme Court stayed all executions until a decision was made. The stay was not lifted until May 2008.
