Capital punishment was outlawed in New York after the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, declared the practice as unconstitutional under the state's constitution in 2004. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling declared existing capital punishment statutes unconstitutional in Furman v. Georgia (1972), abolishing the practice of capital punishment in the United States. In 1976, the same court's ruling in Gregg v. Georgia allowed states to reinstate the death penalty. In 1995, Governor George Pataki signed a new statute into law which returned the death penalty in New York by authorizing lethal injection for execution. However, there were no executions before the law was repealed for good in 2004.

  • Bien que cela soit possible depuis 1972, l'État de New York n'a rétabli la peine de mort qu'en 1995 pour une gamme de crimes assez large semblable aux autres États, une promesse qui avait favorisé l'élection du gouverneur George Pataki alors que les gouverneurs précédents y avait mis leur veto systématiquement. Au début des années 1970, la chaise électrique de New York, baptisée « Old Sparky », est déplacée à l'établissement correctionnel de Green Haven depuis l'établissement correctionnel de Sing Sing.
