Virginia has executed a man who killed a hospital security guard and sheriff's deputy after escaping from custody in 2006.
Thirty-five-year-old William Morva was pronounced dead at 9:15 p.m. Thursday after an injection at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt. He had no last words.
It was the first execution carried out in Virginia under a new protocol that makes more of the lethal injection procedure secret.
Morva was in jail awaiting trial on attempted robbery charges when he overpowered a deputy sheriff during a trip to the hospital. He used the deputy's pistol to fatally shoot an unarmed security guard and killed another deputy during a manhunt the next day.
Morva's lawyers said his crimes were the result a severe mental illness that prevented him from distinguishing between delusions and reality.

Can he vote absentee before they kill him?

Mad dogs need putting down. Justice and safety demanded it.
If Charles Manson had a son....................
That seems incredibly fast from conviction to execution. I’m not complaining about it...it just seems that it’s often decades in most states.
Who cares? He will vote democratic in future elections.
Yes!
McAuliffe is refusing to cooperate with the President's voter fraud commission...
Some sad Mama’s baby boy gone wrong. Substance abuse, I’m guessing.
Boy, you don’t need an introductory course in psychology to see he was mad as a mad hatter. Good on VA for putting him out of his misery.
McAuliffe is OBVIOUSLY running for president - only reason why ANY DEMOCRAT would let a person be executed.
Back in the day...the guy that assassinated President McKinley was tried, convicted, and executed in about 6 weeks after McKinley died (he lingered for about a week after being shot).
It should not take 11 years to execute a murderer.
“Can he vote absentee before they kill him?”
That’s okay. Now that he is dead he will “vote” many times.
I was thinking the same thing. He sure has the Charles Manson look.
I'm sure of it. I expect he'll head to Iowa and New Hampshire after our November election.
I had similar thought. Did The Punk allow this as a token execution so he looks tough on law and order in his future campaigns?
“Can he vote absentee before they kill him?”
Why would that affect his ability to vote in that state? I don’t understand.
