I told you people how this was done in Texas LONG ago!
What, execution for treason against the state?I for one want that punishment back.
THE TEXAS CONSTITUTIONARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTSSec. 22. TREASON AGAINST STATE. Treason against the State shall consist only in levying war against it, or adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort; and no person shall be convicted of treason except on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
It's still on the books.
So when is the last time one was executed for being found treasonous in Texas?
https://uknowledge.uky.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1142&context=kljJudicial Decisions Regarding State TreasonState courts have decided surprisingly few cases involving state treason.Since ratification of the Constitution, state courts have completed only two treason prosecutions.' The first was Rhode Island's 1844 prosecution of Thomas Dorr; the second was Virginia's 1859 prosecution of John Brown.'In both cases, the defense argued that state treason is an unconstitutional usurpation of federal authority, but in both cases, the court held other-wise.
Last time? Maybe never. Probably was just not documented and recorded. People have a way of becoming missing every day.
