- The most severe sentence in the U.S.
- More than 14,500 have occurred
- First one was the execution of Captain George Kendall in 1608
- Today, approx. 3,000 people on death row, around 30 executed every year
- Most executions are for murder and rape, but some federal, state and military laws have imposed death for other crimes like robbery, kidnapping, treason, espionage and desertion from service
- In recent years, the SC
has limited death penalty to first degree murder, though the feds still have it for espionage, treason, drug trafficking, etc.
- Some states have it for crimes like aircraft piracy, ransom kidnapping and aggravated rape of a child
- In 2007, New Jersey became the first state since 1967 to abolish death penalty by law; other states followed like Nebraska
