People v. LaValle
People v. LaValle, 3 N.Y.3d 88 (2004), was a landmark decision by the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the U.S. state of New York, in which the court ruled that the state's death penalty statute was unconstitutional because of the statute's direction on how the jury was to be instructed in case of deadlock. New York has since been without the death penalty, as the law has not been amended.
Government of New Hampshire
The state retains the death penalty for specific categories of homicide. The last execution was conducted in 1939. In 2008, a jury voted to impose the death penalty for the first time since 1959.
