Virginia Dems Prepare to End Death Penalty Gov. Ralph Northam (D., Va.) / Getty Images January 28, 2021 1:51 PM Virginia Democrats plan to abolish the state s death penalty will soon get a full hearing in the state Senate, a process likely to end with the Old Dominion state becoming the first in the south to end capital punishment. Senate Bill 1165, which would end executions and convert Virginia s outstanding death sentences to life without parole, advanced through two committees over the objections of a minority of Republicans before making it to the Senate floor on Wednesday. It will now face a full vote in the state s upper chamber, but Democratic control of both houses and of the governor s mansion indicate an eventual passage is likely.
