how many people have been killed in washington state by the death penalty?

Since 1975 (when the death penalty was reinstated) Washington has executed 4 people. Prior to that, 195 people were executed in Washington State.

No, there are 9 people on death row in Washington.

Washington, like all other states with the death penalty, has had to spend much more on this than they would for life without parole. Here is part of a state report from Washington:

Washington State “At the trial level, death penalty cases are estimated to generate roughly $470,000 in additional costs to the prosecution and defense over the cost of trying the same case as an aggravated murder without the death penalty and costs of $47,000 to $70,000 for court personnel.” (Final Report of the Death Penalty Subcommittee of the Committee on Public Defense, Washington State Bar Association, December 2006, http://www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/committeeonpubl...

By the way, the extra costs apply even if the defendant is acquitted or not sentenced to death .

Here is some more information from the report:

"The report noted that since the death penalty was reinstated in Washington in 1981, there have been 254 death eligible cases. Of these, death notices were filed by the prosecution in 79 cases (31.1%). Death sentences were imposed in 30 cases, or 11.8% of the death eligible cases. Twenty-three cases have completed appellate review, and 4 inmates have been executed. Three of the four inmates executed waived part of their appeals, thereby hastening their executions. The other 19 cases were reversed, almost all resulting in a sentence of life without parole."

The United States DOESN'T USE hanging as punishment, because our Constitution prohibits this. The Iraquis resorted to hanging when they killed Saddam Hussein, because they wanted to make a political statement- but the US actually condemmed what they did. So my thinking is that the answer to your question is that NO ONE has been executed this way in Washington, or any other state.

As for how many people have been executed by other means, look that up on Google or Wikipedia.

200

only those that deserved it, look the # up on google
