Lawmakers in Virginia passed a bill Tuesday that would end the death penalty — a historic and long-awaited move that makes the Commonwealth the first southern state to ban capital punishment.
The state Senate passed a House version of the bill with a 22-16 vote and the House a Senate version of the bill 57-43. Both bills will now go to Gov. Ralph Northam, who is expected to sign it. Only one version of the bill needs to be passed for the measure to become law.
The House version of the bill would abolish the death penalty for people currently under a death sentence and includes the option of sentencing people to life without parole for serious offenses.
