List of people executed in New York

Last updated

This list of people executed in New York gives the names of some of the people executed in New York, both before and after statehood in the United States (including as New Amsterdam), as well as the person's date of execution, method of execution, and the name of the Governor of New York at the date of execution. 1963 marked the last execution in New York State. Some executions recorded during the 17th and 18th centuries do not indicate the name(s) of the executed and therefore are not included.

As a result of several United States Supreme Court decisions, capital punishment was suspended in the United States from 1972 through 1976.

Since 24 June 2004, the New York State death penalty statute has been declared unconstitutional by the New York Court of Appeals. [106]

Notes

  1. ↑ The name of this inmate is given as William B. Ennis in Robert G. Elliott's "Agent of Death". Ennis was the first policeman executed by the State of New York.
  2. ↑ The Espy Files erroneously list this man as "William Wagner." William, who was unrelated to Wilmot Leroy Wagner, was executed the year prior for a completely separate robbery/murder of Peter Basto, a hotel employee. Wilmot Wagner was executed in 1928 for murdering two police officers.
