More Info: The federal death penalty has been carried out only three times in the past 40 years, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Those executed were Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in 2001, and two Texas murderers in 2001 and 2003. There are 54 inmates on federal death row. Thirty-seven states, including Idaho and Washington, have the death penalty for state crimes. Overall, there have been 1,099 executions under state death penalty laws since 1976, including one in Idaho, four in Washington, and 405 in Texas.
