The United States has executed its first death-row inmate in seven months following the ending of a moratorium prompted by a legal challenge.
All the states that practice the death penalty halted executions last September while the Supreme Court assessed a challenge to the lethal-injection system in Kentucky.
Last week, the court ruled that the lethal-injection process is not unconstitutional.
Georgia has now become the first state to resume the death penalty after executing a 53-year-old man last night for the murder of his girlfriend 20 years ago.
