A quick definition of capital offense:

A capital offense is a very serious crime that can be punished by death. This means that if someone is found guilty of a capital offense, they could be sentenced to die. The types of crimes that are considered capital offenses vary from state to state, but usually include things like murder or other violent crimes. Some states also have the death penalty for drug trafficking. However, not all states allow the death penalty and some people believe that it is not a fair punishment. The federal government also has some capital offenses, but they are very limited.

A more thorough explanation:

A capital offense is a type of crime that is punishable by the death penalty. This means that if someone is found guilty of a capital offense, they could be sentenced to death. The punishment for a capital offense varies from state to state, but it is usually reserved for the most serious crimes.

For example, in Virginia, if someone commits a willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing during a robbery or act of terrorism, they could be charged with a capital offense. In Florida, someone could be charged with a capital offense if they are involved in drug trafficking at a certain level.

These examples illustrate how a capital offense is reserved for the most serious crimes, such as murder or drug trafficking at a high level. The punishment for these crimes is the death penalty, which is considered the ultimate punishment.
