You can't be sentenced to a state punishment that no longer exists on the states books. EXCEPT - if you are being tried in a federal or a military court, where the death penalty still applies.

Not exactly. A prosecutor might offer a plea bargain in exchange for not seeking the death penalty on conviction. This is not unusual. If the prosecutor can persuade the defendant to plead guilty, he or she saves the state the cost of a murder trial (the only offense likely to result in the death penalty), which can run into the millions. If the prosecutor says, "take this plea bargain or you will get the death penalty," he or she is assuming they can convict you, which is never a sure thing.

It is that jury that determines if someone will get the death penalty.
