A little macabre, but I honestly would take getting shot or hanging over lethal injection. At least a hanging snaps the neck so I can’t feel and lose consciousness.
Delaware..
Washington and Delaware are WAY too recent
Look at Washington state being all progressive
Michigan has never had the death penalty as a US territory or state. The date mentioned was a federal execution that happened within our borders.
Edit: fixing autocorrect
Color coding this would have made it better
Massachusetts had last used it 199 years before Delaware stopped.
For anyone wondering about the Washington hanging:
> On May 27, 1994, the State of Washington conducts its last execution by hanging. Charles Rodman Campbell, age 39, is put to death for the 1982 murders of two women and a child. Campbell has a choice between hanging and lethal injection, but refuses to choose, so under existing state law hanging is used. A law passed in 1996 will make lethal injection the default for executing those condemned to death, unless the defendant chooses hanging, and three men will be executed by lethal injection between 1998 and 2010.

In 2018 the Washington State Supreme Court invalidated the state’s death penalty. In 2023, the ban on death penalty was formalized by amending state law.
The two men convicted of the murders in Truman Capote’s book In Cold Blood were hanged in Kansas around the end of its use there.
Tennessee executed an elephant by hanging in the 20th century
That’s the day that crime started in every state. Bring it back! That will fix crime!

Time to bring it back, publicly on the courthouse lawn….
The State of Michigan has never had the death penalty, so that 1938 hanging was done by the federal government, when they executed a murderous bank robber.
Delaware – the first state and last hanging
Alaska and Hawaii became states in 1959. So the states of Alaska and Hawaii have never executed anyone by hanging…
1797 is crazy
You mean to tell me I could’ve taken a trip to WA when I was 13 and seen a real, old fashioned hangin‘?
