VA Supreme Court Approves Gleason Execution The Virginia Supreme Court has finished their automatic review of the death penalty for Robert Gleason Junior. They have determined that Gleason's execution can now move forward. He was initially sentenced to life in prison for the 2008 shooting death of an Amherst County, Virginia man. Gleason admitted his role in killing two fellow prison inmates, and has vowed to kill again if he's not executed. Prosecutors, defense attorneys and the presiding judge must now meet to set the execution date. (jb)
