Virginia executed its 100th inmate Wednesday night. Robert Stacy Yarbrough was put to death by lethal injection. He was pronounced dead at 9:28. He was sentenced to death for nearly decapitating a Mecklenburg County store owner during a robbery back in 1997.
The U.S. Supreme Court and Gov. Timothy M. Kaine refused to block the execution. Virginia ranks second only to Texas, which has 406, in the number of executions since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated Capital punishment in 1976.
