Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam addresses a joint session of the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond, Va., on Jan. 8, 2020.
Virginia’s use of the death penalty dates back over 400 years to 1608, when Jamestown settlers carried out the first recorded execution in the then-European colonies. In the centuries since, amid periods of slavery, Reconstruction and Jim Crow segregation, Virginia has executed hundreds of people; since 1976, Virginia has executed 113 people, a higher percentage of death row inmates than any other U.S. state, and the highest number of state executions second only to Texas. ....

Let’s start with one observation why has this happened?
Easy the appeal process in death penalty cases can be easily bogged down by the way the Department of Justice responds to defense efforts to derail the carrying out of death sentences.  These are sentences imposed by federal district court judges, with the responsibility for carrying out the sentences placed in the hands of the federal Bureau of Prisons which is part of DOJ.  As a result, the Executive Branch is not able to simply cancel the carrying out of such sentences which are authorized by Congress and affirmed by the Supreme Court to not violate the Eighth Amendment.  So a liberal Presidential administration that disapproves of the death penalty can only interfere with the process, it cannot prevent the process from going forward unless the President chooses to commute the sentence to something other than the “death penalty.” ....
