About This Tool

We all know that the United States has the death penalty(capital punishment) in some states, but not in other states. As an immigration country with complicated citizenship, it is necessary for the United States to retain the death penalty(capital punishment). In fact, in the spirit of religion and humanity, the United States once abolished the death penalty in 1967; however, under the pressure of opponents and the cruel reality, the United States resumed the death penalty(capital punishment) in 1976, and some states that retain the death penalty currently have very strict judgments on the death penalty.


We have collected all cases of death penalty since 1879, these cases reflect the development process of penalties in the United States, the definition and execution methods of the death penalty were controversial at the beginning. These cases are procedural and qualified. Crime, acceptable evidence, and execution methods have a significant impact on a wide range of areas.
