    Michigan’s last execution happened 88 years ago: That man’s story and the death penalty today

    The last execution in Michigan occurred in 1938 when Tony Chebatoris was executed by the federal government for a bank robbery. In 2025, one Michigan man remains on death row for a crime committed on federal property. Chebatoris' 1937 bank robbery in Midland led to a confrontation with a dentist and a truck driver, resulting in multiple gunshot injuries.
