Executed
Paul Ezra Rhoades
Idaho prison officials executed Paul Ezra Rhoades on the morning of November 18, 2011, at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Boise, where he had been held for more than two decades under a death sentence. A court action had delayed the execution, and corrections officials said the last-minute legal hurdle had been resolved. Protesters gathered outside the prison to oppose the death penalty.
Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state
