The last person executed in California under the death penalty was Clarence Ray Allen, who was executed on January 17, 2017. However, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a moratorium on the death penalty in March 2019, halting all executions during his tenure. Consequently, while the death penalty remains legal in California, no executions have taken place since Allen's execution.

If by 'LA' the city of Los Angeles, California is meant, then no, the City of LA does not have the death penalty, per se. HOWEVER, the State of California DOES have the death penalty. Because LA is located within the State of California, capital crimes committed in LA are subject to penalties and punishments under California law, including the death penalty.

Hopefully a Canadian citizen will weigh in on this question - but I do not believe that Canada has a death penalty any longer. Whether there is an exception for this particular crime, or not, I do not know.***EDIT****Yes you can be executed for treason in Canada, its the one thing you can be executed for.
