Authored by Professor Ronald J. Bacigal of the University of Richmond School of Law, and Jonathan P. Sheldon and Joseph T. Flood of Sheldon, Flood & Haywood, PLC, in Fairfax, this essential resource is both a guide for attorneys and a source of information for judges who are involved with capital cases in Virginia. The book includes several tables of relevant cases arranged by different groupings: by defendant’s surname; by degree of aggravation and mitigation; by aggravator; and by the section of the Virginia Code offended.
