Not since the 1800’s.

Correct. Haven't had it for as long as I can remember (about 50 years). They didn't have it when Jeffrey Dahmer was tried, but one of his fellow inmates delivered justice; with a broomstick, IIRC.

It's before my time, but I don't think they had it for Ed Gein back in the 50s, either.

I'd like to see the death penalty brought back here in Iowa. It should be easy, since the Repubs hold the house, senate and governorship, but I haven't hear one word about it.
