More scrutiny led to fewer executions in Virginia this year.
The number of executions fell from 14 in last year to eight this year.
State Officials believe D-N-A evidence and more skeptical judges are among the reasons for the decrease.
Virginia is now ranked third in executions across America.
Last year, the state was second.
So far, NO executions are scheduled for next year.
