Federal prosecutors can still seek death penalty in New York under active but dormant law.
New York’s death penalty remains legally active but dormant since a 2004 state court ruling invalidated the procedure.
No executions have occurred in decades, and the state's last death sentence was commuted in 2007.
However, federal prosecutors can still seek the death penalty for certain crimes in New York, such as terrorism or murder of federal officials, leaving the law in a prolonged legal limbo.
