The US state of Nebraska carried out its first execution in 21 years on 14 August, and the first by lethal injection. The 60-year-old prisoner, Carey Dean Moore, had been on death row for nearly four decades. He did not seek clemency and had given up his appeals.

Thank you to all those who sent appeals. No further action is requested from the UA network.
