VA to Execute Alfredo Prieto Thursday, Despite Intellectual Disability

HeadlineSep 30, 2015

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Alfredo Prieto is scheduled to be executed by the state of Virginia. The Salvadoran national is convicted of multiple counts of murder. His lawyers maintain Prieto has an intellectual disability that renders his execution unconstitutional. We’ll have more on Glossip’s execution later in the broadcast with Sister Helen Prejean and Glossip’s lawyer, Don Knight.
