VA to Execute Alfredo Prieto Thursday, Despite Intellectual Disability 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Alfredo Prieto is scheduled to be executed by
the state of Virginia. The Salvadoran national is convicted of multiple
counts of murder. His lawyers maintain Prieto has an intellectual
disability that renders his execution unconstitutional. We'll have more
on Glossip's execution later in the broadcast with Sister Helen Prejean
and Glossip's lawyer, Don Knight.
