The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Arkansas since 1976, when the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in the United States.
31 people have been executed in Arkansas since 1976: 30 males and 1 female (Christina Marie Riggs). The first execution was carried out by electric chair; all subsequent executions were carried out by lethal injection. All were executed for the crime of murder.[1] Convicted spree killer Daniel Eugene Remeta was likewise sentenced to death in Arkansas, but was ultimately executed in Florida in 1998 for another murder.[2]
