From what I gather they can try the two, again, for capital murder (the crime that can bring them the death penalty)in Virginia. Apparently it is for different victims and therefore is not double jeopardy.

Since there is a whole lot of evidence here (in VA) and the prosecutors are well informed as to the nature of the crimes, hope we get another chance at Malvo.

Besides we don't dawdle in getting a convicted murderer to the death chamber.

If not, am more than happy to let Alabama and Louisiana have their licks.

They can be tried for every single murder as a unique case. Sooner or later a jury will vote for the death sentence. I am amazed that holding every person in an area of hundreds of miles hostage to terror is not of itself a crime punishable by death.
