In Idaho, if your perjury leads to an innocent being executed, you can get executed as well!

Death penalty in the United States is limited under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and, in practice, is used almost exclusively for aggravated murders committed by mentally competent adults.

The methods of execution and the crimes subject to the penalty vary by state, and have changed over time. The most common method since 1976 has been lethal injection.

In 2012, 43 inmates were executed in the U.S. And 3,146 were on death row, an execution rate of less than 2%.

In Idaho for example, three crimes in Idaho are punishable by death:

• 
  


• First degree murder with aggravating factors


• 
  


• Aggravated kidnapping


• 
  


• Perjury causing execution of an innocent person


• 
  

As in any other state, people who are under 18 at the time of commission of the capital crime or mentally retarded are constitutionally precluded from being executed.
