        @chrisgeidner well the last federal execution was in like the 60's or so. It'd have to be before then, but most states had them pre-that

        @chrisgeidner @radleybalko Alaska had a federal death penalty murder trial while I was clerking for the 9th Cir in 2010. Don't know result.

        @chrisgeidner @radleybalko I think it might have pled out, but plenty of federal jxn in Alaska, which has no state death penalty.
