Mississippi is set to execute a man convicted of raping and killing a college student

0
A Mississippi man convicted of kidnapping, raping and killing a 20-year-old community college student is set to be executed Wednesday evening at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman. Charles Crawford has also been convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl and attacking her friend with a hammer. In both attacks, he claimed he blacked out and did not recall what happened. Crawford's execution date comes after the 59-year-old spent more than 30 years on death row. It would mark the state's second execution this year. Mississippi previously executed Gerald Jordan, the state's longest-serving death-row inmate, in June. The number of executions has increased nationwide in 2025.
