联邦检察官仍然可以在纽约寻求死刑, Federal prosecutors can still seek death penalty in New York under active but dormant law.

纽约的死刑在法律上依然有效, 但自2004年州法院裁决无效以来一直处于休眠状态. New York’s death penalty remains legally active but dormant since a 2004 state court ruling invalidated the procedure. 几十年来没有任何死刑执行, No executions have occurred in decades, and the state's last death sentence was commuted in 2007. 美国联邦检察官仍可对纽约某些罪行,如恐怖主义或谋杀联邦官员进行死刑判决. However, federal prosecutors can still seek the death penalty for certain crimes in New York, such as terrorism or murder of federal officials, leaving the law in a prolonged legal limbo.
