Reply to comment by Slavic_Dusa in Oregon governor commutes all 17 of state's death sentences by Slavic_Dusa

According to justice.gov, you are incorrect. https://www.justice.gov/usao/justice-101/sentencing See also, 18 U.S.C. 3593-94. Additionally, in Oregon, it requires unanimous juror consent to issue the death penalty, so 204 citizens were wronged.

Oregon used to allow for nonunanimous juries in felony trials but that just recently changed. I'm not sure if that included capital punishment.
