None since 1939?  They've already abolished it.

Not quite.  They do have one person on their death row.  The lack is a combination of being a small state and because they have a fairly restrictive list of circumstances that make a murderer eligible for the death penalty.

Ok, they have effectively abolished it.   That guy will die waiting on death row before they strap  him down on the gurney.

Meanwhile, it scares me that I agree with the Okies more than the NH crowd......these two will be executed on the same day....their crimes are in the last paragraph.
