Washington State

edit

It’s time to update the map. Governor Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 5087 in 2023 which formally repealed the death penalty from Washington’s statutes. The map still reflects that executions are in statute, but formally suspended which is false.  Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-34626-98 (talk) 21:55, 20 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Second debate section at bottom of page with improper citations

edit

Why is there a second "debate" section all the way at the bottom of the page with additional references? Also, none of the references in this additional section are cited properly.

Ohio Moratorium

edit

In the second graphic on this page, Ohio is marked as red (active death penalty state). It should instead be marked as blue (formal moratorium). Governor Mike DeWine has explicitly said that no executions will take place in Ohio until a new lethal injection protocol or execution method determined to be constitutionally acceptable by the courts is adopted by the state. To enforce this policy, he has repeatedly been rescheduling executions to later dates while the new protocol or method is developed. This constitutes a governor imposed moratorium.
