A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Virginia execution of an El Salvador native convicted of killing Yorktown High School graduate Rachael Raver and her boyfriend in 1988.
Alfredo Rolando Prieto, a serial killer convicted for three murders in Virginia and California and linked to six others, was scheduled for lethal injection at 9 p.m. Thursday.
But U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga of the Eastern District of Virginia put that on hold and scheduled a hearing for 2 p.m. Thursday to allow Virginia officials to provide details of the drugs that would be used to kill Prieto.
The stay could be lifted and the execution put back on schedule following the hearing.
One of the drugs, pentobarbital, has been hard to come by in recent years but the state recently obtained three vials of it from Texas. Texas officials have said only that the drug came from a compounding pharmacy but would not name it. The Virginia Department of Corrections intends to use the pentobarbital in place of midazolam, the sedative it usually uses in the 3-drug mix, because its supply of midazolam expired Wednesday.
