A man whose lawyers claimed he was mentally disabled became Virginia's first execution since 2006.
31-year-old Kevin Green of Broadnax was pronounced dead at 10:05 tonight (5/27) at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt.
Green died by injection for the August 1998 slaying of Brunswick County convenience store owner Particia Vaughan.
Green's execution was delayed by an hour when his attorneys attempted to get a federal judge to step in after governor Tim Kaine and the US Supreme Court refused to intervene.
