There are more than 60 death row inmates on Federal Death Row... [View all]

The odds are long and the time will be long before we see a Federal execution, the last one was in 2003 and there are currently on death row: 62 (as of 2014) Total number executed: 37 (1927-2003).

There are more than 3,000 in the US total last year, 35 were executed.

For those who support the DP, you have your wish. For those opposed, it is very possible Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will die before he is executed.

I think the probability of another federal execution is small and still falling Sen. Walter Sobchak May 2015 #6
