Random fact: A set of twins figures into Virginia’s modern death penalty story: Jerry Kilgore tried, unsuccessfully, to ruin Tim Kaine’s career by fearmongering over the death penalty 16 years ago and now Terry Kilgore cast a losing vote trying to retain the death penalty.

I wrote two big stories relating to Virginia and the death penalty over the past decade, both of which made clear to me how abhorrent, unjust, and unworkable this system is. One was about the execution of Alfredo Prieto in 2015. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

The other was about Tim Kaine. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
