∙ 14y agoYes. The death penalty has been banned in 14 states, plus the District of Columbia. The state of New York has not officially banned capital punishment, but still has a law on their books allowing it. The New York Supreme Court declared part of the law unconstitutional in 2004, but the legislature has made no effort to rewrite or reinstate the law.
