When you create custom number formats, you can specify up to four sections of format code. These sections of code define the formats for positive numbers, negative numbers, zero values, and text, in that order. The sections of code must be separated by semicolons (;).
Texas was the first U.S. state to carry out an execution by lethal injection, executing Charles Brooks on December 7, 1982. Texas is first in the number of executions carried out in the United States since 1976. One Texas county (Harris) accounts for 280+ death sentences and 116 executions since 1982.
Since the start of 2014, all but two of the nationâs 49 executions have been carried out by just five states: Texas, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma and Georgia. For the first time in the nearly 30 years that I have been studying and writing about the death penalty, the end of this troubled system is creeping into view.
