Lawyers for a Virginia death row inmate asked the state’s Supreme Court to overturn his sentence because a juror’s co-workers urged her to sentence him to death, the Associated Press reports.
Joshua Andrews, 27, was convicted in a 2002 killing spree in which he forced three men to undress and get into bathtub in a Dumfries apartment, then shot them. Two died. Andrews and another man fled to New York, where they shot two more people.
