I think Kansas has 6 people on death row. Supreme Court rulings have commuted the rest to life. Similar things have happened in other states as well, California being among them.
I'm used to hearing about Texas and Oklahoma executions. Can't remember the last California execution I heard about. In fact, California has executed just 13 people since 1973.
Given the population of the state, it must have the least prolific death penalty in the country.
