After the execution of John Allen Muhammad, The Times-Dispatch's Frank Green reported that "little noticed amid the recent activity in the state's death chamber is that there has not been a death verdict from a jury in the state since March 2008." The news follows a trend that has seen fewer death sentences during the past several years. Experts attribute the news to various factors, of which the certainty of life without parole may be pre-eminent. |
