Types Of Capital Crimes

Of course, New York has not had the death penalty in effect for more than a decade now, and death row has been disestablished for some time.

However, there are still federal crimes that can result in the death penalty. There are many federal capital crimes, most of which involve death to the victim. Most of the time, capital crimes on the federal level involve either the killing of a person in high government positions or particularly heinous forms of murder. Some examples include:

• Intentionally wrecking a train, resulting in death
• Violent sexual assault that results in death
• Torture resulting in death
• Killing a juror
• Murder using weapons of mass destruction

There are many more examples of capital offenses on the federal level that can lead to the death penalty. Some nonmurder-related capital charges include espionage, treason and large-scale drug trafficking.
