It's capital murder, does that mean automatic death penalty?

FOX says that sentencing deliberations begin immediately after the guilty verdict.

Not automatic--but as close as you can get.

Not automatically. The convictions
qualify for the death penalty under Virginia justice code, but now the jury has to decide the sentence. During the penalty phase of the trial, they can opt for "life" or "life without parole" if they choose.
(Been there, done that, served as a juror in a VA death penalty case.)

It's capital murder, does that mean automatic death penalty? Four charges. Hope they figure out a way to kill the bastard 4 times
