prosecutor and Virginia's attorney general, Virginia's limited use of capital punishment is one which we should embrace rather than shy away. Each time Virginia advocated the imposition of the death penalty against a convicted criminal, as attorney general, I focused upon the facts of that case. It only took a quick reading of the trial transcript or reviewing the victim family's statements to understand that the most vile of criminals deserve the ultimate punishment.
