Milestone execution stopped

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Virginia Gov. Mark Warner on Tuesday halted the execution of a convicted murderer who would have been the 1,000th person put to death in the United States since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976.

Warner said he commuted Robin Lovitt's sentence to life in prison without parole because a court clerk had destroyed evidence during the appeals process in violation of state law"
