A Virginia circuit court judge has set a November 10 execution date for John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area.
The attorney general's office had requested a November 9 execution date, but Muhammad's attorney, Jonathan Sheldon said Prince William County Circuit Judge Mary Grace O'Brien delayed it one day, a Tuesday, so that government offices would be open the day before in case of last-minute court action.
Muhammad was sentenced to death for the slaying of Dean Meyers, one of ten people shot to death during a 2002 rampage that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area.
Sheldon said Muhammad will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and ask the governor for clemency.
