It is the 23rd US state and the first in the South to end the use of capital punishment.

Virginia has become the first Southern US state to abolish the death penalty after its governor signed into law a bill that ends capital punishment.

Since then, the vast majority of executions have taken place in the Southern US states that made up the former slave-owning Confederacy.
