Virginia on Tuesday night executed Larry Bill Elliott, a Maryland man convicted in 2003 of killing a Northern Virginia couple to woo a former stripper.
Shortly after 9 p.m., Elliott, a former Army counterintelligence officer, became the first inmate in the nation to die by electric chair since 2008, and the first in Virginia since 2006. He had requested the method over lethal injection.
