Va. judge throws out drug dealer’s death sentence in slaying

• Washington Post

A federal judge has thrown out the capital murder conviction and death sentence of Justin Michael Wolfe and lambasted the veteran Prince William County prosecutors who alleged that the drug dealer orchestrated the slaying of his marijuana supplier more than a decade ago.

U.S. District Judge Raymond A. Jackson, in Norfolk, ruled that prosecutors withheld or ignored crucial evidence and potential testimony that could have helped Wolfe’s defense.
