🔎 Definition of a Capital Offense
A capital offense is a crime that is punishable by death under federal law. This doesn’t mean the death penalty must be imposed — only that it is legally available as a possible sentence.
📜 According to 18 U.S.C. § 3591 (Federal Death Penalty Statute):
A capital offense includes crimes where death is a possible punishment, such as:
- Murder (especially of federal officials or during federal crimes like kidnapping, rape, or terrorism)
- Espionage
- Treason
- Large-scale drug trafficking
- Certain civil rights violations resulting in death
⚖️ Application to 18 U.S.C. § 242
Under 18 U.S.C. § 242, a crime becomes a capital offense if it:
“…results in death, or includes kidnapping, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.”
➤ This means § 242 becomes a capital offense if:
- The victim dies as a result of the deprivation of rights
- The offense includes attempted murder
- The conduct involves kidnapping
- The offense includes aggravated sexual abuse
In these cases, 18 U.S.C. § 3281 applies, and there is no statute of limitations.
🧠 Key Point
It’s not the charge alone that makes an offense “capital” — it’s whether the death penalty could legally be applied under federal law for the specific facts of the case.
