Overview of capital punishment in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania
Capital punishment is a legal punishment in Pennsylvania. Despite remaining a legal penalty, there have been no executions in Pennsylvania since 1999, and only three since 1976 (all occurring in the 1990s, during the governorship of Tom Ridge). In February 2015, Governor Tom Wolf announced a formal moratorium on executions that is still in effect as of 2023[update], with incumbent Governor Josh Shapiro continuing Wolf's moratorium.[1] However, capital crimes are still prosecuted and death warrants are still issued.
