RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia moved another step closer to ending capital punishment on Friday when the state House joined the Senate in voting to abolish the death penalty. It’s a dramatic shift for Virginia, which has put more people to death over its centuries-long history than any other state. Democrats favoring abolishment said the death penalty is an archaic punishment in an era when many countries have already moved away from the practice, and too costly to implement, given the litigation involved. In modern times, Virginia trails only Texas in the number of executions since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Last year, death penalty abolition bills in the General Assembly went nowhere.
