A total of 28 people convicted of murder have been executed by the state of Louisiana since 1976. Of the 28 people executed, 20 were executed via electrocution and 8 via lethal injection. The most recent Louisiana inmate to be put to death, Gerald Bordelon, waived his appeals and asked the state to carry out his sentence.[1]
^Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, Louisiana is one of only two states to have executed more people via electrocution than lethal injection (Nebraska, which required electrocution until 2009, is the other).
^The 4 victims were: Bobby Todd, Terry Hebert, Sandra Brake, and Anne Tierney.
^Louisiana executed a total of 8 inmates in 1987, the highest of all states for that calendar year and accounting for nearly a third of all executions in 1987.
^Felde was executed 12 hours after Buddy Roemer's inauguration as Louisiana governor. Roemer and his predecessor, Edwin Edwards, each rejected appeals for clemency.
^The 5 victims were: Sheila Thomas, Shantel Osborne, Carol Osborne, Owen Griffin, and Myrtle Griffin.
^Edward R. Byrne Jr. was the 100th person to be executed in the United States since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.
^Martin is the last person to be executed in Louisiana after exhausting all his appeals.
^Bordelon waived all appeals and asked the state to carry out his death sentence.
