If the crime you commit (generally just first degree murder) is in a state that does not have the death penalty then the only way you can be executed is if you are tried in a federal court as opposed to a state court.
Second Degree Murder Penalties and Sentencing. After a jury has found a defendant guilty of second degree murder, the case moves on to the sentencing phase. During this phase, the defendant will learn what penalties the state or federal government will impose for their crime. There are several factors that determine what sentence a person convicted of second degree murder will receive. First, there is the actual language of the law that sets the penalty. Second, there is a range of aggravating and mitigating factors that courts can consider when deciding on a sentence.
