Capital punishment in Colorado
Capital punishment is legal in the U.S. state of Colorado.
Colorado was the last state to perform an execution in the pre-Furman period (1967),〔()〕 but since 1977 executed only one prisoner, and may thus be considered as ''de facto'' abolitionist since October 11, 2007.
==Current development==
The death penalty was reinstated in Colorado on January 1, 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Death Penalty Information Center )〕 The previous death penalty statute was declared unconstitutional due to the United States Supreme Court ''Furman v. Georgia'' ruling in 1972, which found all states' death penalty statutes unconstitutional. In 1976, Colorado's new death penalty statutes were approved by the Supreme Court and Colorado was allowed to resume performing executions.
As in all US states, people who are under 18 at the time of commission of the capital crime 〔Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005)〕 or mentally disabled〔Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002)〕 are constitutionally precluded from being executed.
