The 57-year-old death row inmate was sentenced to death after being convicted of killing three people in a 1999 workplace rampage.
Gov. Ralph Northam made Virginia the 23rd state to abolish the death penalty. The state has the second-highest number of executions in the U.S.ATMORE, Ala. – Before the clock struck midnight on Thursday, Alabama officials halted the lethal injection of a man convicted of a fatal workplace shooting in 1999 due to time concerns and problems accessing the inmate’s veins.
"Due to the time constraints resulting from the lateness of the court proceedings, the execution was called off once it was determined the condemned's veins could not be accessed in accordance with our protocol before the expiration of the deadline," said Hamm.
