Capital punishment is legal in the U.S. state of South Dakota Contents 1 Current development 1.1 Crimes punishable by death 1.2 Sentencing, death row and clemency 1.3 Method of execution 1.4 Individual executed by the State of South Dakota since 1976 2 History 2.1 Abolition, reintroduction and methods of executions 2.2 Pre-Furman executions 3 References // Current development South Dakota Legislature passed a new death penalty statute, which went to effect due to signature of Governor Bill Janklow (first act he signed in office) on January 1, 1979[1]. Crimes punishable by death First-degree murder with 1 of 10 aggravating circumstances is the only capital crime in South Dakota[2][3]. In 2006 possible death sentence for aggravated kidnapping was eliminated[2]. Sentencing, death row and clemency Death sentence is to determine by jury and Life Without Parole is an option[1]. As in any other state, people who are under 18 at the time of commission of the capital crime [4] or mentally retarded[5] are constitutionally precluded from being executed. Currently three men are awaiting execution on death row, located in Sioux Falls[1]. Governor may grant commutation of death sentence with a non-binding recommendation from the Board. As of 2008[update] no commutation was granted[6]. Method of execution Lethal injection is the sole method of execution in South Dakota[7]. Individual executed by the State of South Dakota since 1976 Only one person was executed (voluntary) by the State of South Dakota in modern post-Furman period. It was administered by lethal injection.[8] Executed person Date of execution Crime Victim Under Governor Elijah Page 11 July 2007 First Degree Murder Chester Allan Poage Mike Rounds History South Dakota executed 15 men between 1877 and 1947. The first was Jack McCall, killer of Wild Bill Hickok. 4 of these execution were prior to Statehood, 11 since[9][10]. Abolition, reintroduction and methods of executions Hanging was the only method used until 1913, when death penalty was temporary abolished in 1915[9][11]. The death penalty was, however, reinstated in 1933 and electric chair became sole method[11]. Only one person was electrocuted in South Dakota (George Sitts, 1947) and this was the last execution until Page. South Dakota was second-to-last state to use electrocution[12]. There were speculations that Sitts was executed by borrowed electric chair from Nebraska due to problems with South Dakota own chair. This claim remains unproven and challenged[13]. Pre-Furman executions Between 1877 and 1915, 14 individuals were executed in South Dakota. All were executed by hanging.
