Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the U.S. state of Wyoming. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in the United States in 1976, Wyoming carried out only one execution: that of Mark Hopkinson in 1992 for ordering the murder of four people. Currently, only one person, Dale Eaton, is on Wyoming's death row, but his death sentence was overturned by the federal court of appeals for the tenth circuit, and it's unclear whether prosecutors will further appeal or try a re-sentencing.
