Prisoners on death row
Of the 22 inmates on Virginia's death row, 4 received their death
sentences in Prince William County.
Virginia's death row is located at Sussex I State Prison in Waverly.
Larry "Bill" Elliott, 56, of Hanover, Md. Elliott was convicted of the
January 2001 murders of a Woodbridge couple, Robert Finch, 30, and Dana
Thrall, 25.
Finch and Thrall were shot to death in their town house while Thrall's 2
young sons were asleep upstairs. Elliott was tried twice in the Manassas
courthouse.
His first conviction was thrown out after a juror admitted she had spoken
to her husband, an attorney, about the case during the trial.
A second jury convicted Elliott and recommended the death penalty in
April 2003.
Elliott entered death row in May 2003.
Elliott has a state habeas corpus petition pending in the Virginia
Supreme Court on the state attorney general's motion to dismiss it.
John Allen Muhammad, 45, of Tacoma, Wash. Muhammad and his accomplice Lee
Boyd Malvo, 18, were convicted of the fall 2002 shooting spree in the
Washington, D.C., metropolitan region that killed 10 and wounded 5.

Muhammad is due to file his state habeas corpus petition.
Paul Warner Powell, 28, of Manassas.

their Yorkshire home.
The Virginia Supreme Court overturned Powell's capital conviction for
raping and stabbing 14-year-old Kristie Reed and murdering 16-year-old
Stacie Reed.
The justices declared Powell's actions 2 separate crimes and therefore
ineligible for the death penalty.
Powell was rescheduled for a 1st-degree murder trial.
While waiting for that trial, he sent Commonwealth's Attorney Paul B.
Ebert a letter including information Ebert used to convict him of capital
murder a 2nd time.
The second jury recommended the death sentence for Powell in May 2003.
Powell has a pending state habeas corpus petition in the Virginia Supreme
Court on the state attorney general's motion to dismiss it.
Justin Michael Wolfe, 25, of Centreville.
Wolfe was convicted of murder-for-hire in the shooting death of his
marijuana supplier, Daniel Petrole Jr., 21.
Wolfe, Petrole and gunman Owen Merton Barber IV, of Chantilly, had all
been in a marijuana ring operating throughout Northern Virginia.
Wolfe was indebted to Petrole, and Barber was indebted to Wolfe.
The quantity of marijuana discovered in Petrole's Braemar town house was
one of the largest seized in Prince William.
Wolfe's federal habeas corpus petition is pending in the U.S. District
Court in Norfolk on the state attorney general's motion to dismiss it.
