The authorized method of execution was hanging, although in 1900, the American military authorities executed at least five convicted murderers using the garrotte method that was a legacy of Spanish rule.The last person executed in Puerto Rico was Pascual Ramos, hanged for murder in 1927. Two years later, in 1929, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico abolished the death penalty. The Puerto Rico's constitution expressly forbids capital punishment, stating "The death penalty shall not exist".Despite these provisions, the death penalty can still be applied in Puerto Rico under the federal government, which is a subject of considerable controversy in the territory.".
