Per the US Supreme Court decision in Roper v. Simmons,543 US 551 (2005), no one can be given the death penalty for crimes committed while under the age of 18, even if the person was tried as an adult.

Mississippi allows the death penalty on capital crimes committed by offenders over the age of 18.
