He said he will respect Ashcroft’s decision about who prosecutes first, but if the attor ney general defers to the states, Virginia should go first because it has a strong death penalty statute. “We have death penalty statute that has stood the test of time,” Horan said. Horan said that if the case is sent to Virginia, he’ll meet with the prosecutors in Prince William and Spotsylvania coun ties, where fatal sniper shootings also took place, to decide who will prosecute first based on the best evidence.

An employee was wounded. Federal prosecutors earlier filed charges against Muhammad under weapons and extortion laws that could bring the death penalty. Federal charges have also apparently been brought against Malvo, but authorities will not say so because he is a juvenile.
