Virginia executes convicted serial killer after appeals fail

JARRATT, Va. (AP) — A 49-year-old convicted of murdering three people in Virginia and California nearly three decades ago was executed on Thursday after a series of last-minute appeals failed.

Alfredo Prieto was pronounced dead at 9:17 p.m. at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt. Prieto was injected with a lethal three-drug combination, including the sedative pentobarbital, which Virginia received from the Texas prison system.

Prieto, wearing glasses, jeans and a light blue shirt, did not resist and showed no emotion as he was strapped to the gurney.

“I would like to say thanks to all my lawyers, all my supporters and all my family members,” he said, before mumbling, “Get this over with.”

The system is wrong meaning we had to provide for him 30 years after conviction. How much did that cost us taxpayers?

We need to adopt the system like after Sodom Husein death sentence, one appeal, then you die!

An ounce of lead is cheaper. Only 1 appeal is necessary and make it quick.
