Why Were The Rosenbergs Executed By New York State?

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg - Wikipedia

So it seems that since they were tried in New York and since the federal government did not have execution facilities at that time they were also executed in New York.

Hmmm, interesting. Yes, they were tried in New York but not by New York. They were tried in federal court.

Can a state court issue a death warrant for someone condemned to death by a different jurisdiction?
