It is the ultimate legal punishment where a suspect, after being proven guilty is executed by the governing law, such as a state or country. In the United States the citizens of the individual states decide if they want and will allow capital punishment for their worst criminals. In fact, the United States is one of the few industrialized nations that still allow the death penalty as punishment for capital murder.

Can you be told to take a plea bargain or you will get the death penalty?

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.
