Virginia is seeking a Nov. 9 execution for D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Katherine B. Burnett wrote that the November date has been coordinated with the governor’s office to ensure consideration of an expected clemency petition.
Muhammad was sentenced to death for the slaying of Dean Meyers, one of 10 people killed during a 2002 shooting rampage that terrorized the Washington area.
Muhammad’s attorney, Jonathan Sheldon, has said he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
