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.
I think they executed 2 in 2006, I remember reading California has over 600 people on death row(most in the country) but because of the courts it takes a brutal long time to carry out the sentence's.
