Judge Sam Wilson has concluded death row inmate Percy Levar Walton understands he is to be executed and that his execution is punishment for his murder convictions. A ruling from the court within the last hour conforms with a psychiatrist's opinion laid out in court yesterday. Though the judge's opinion is certain to be appealed, it clears the way for Walton to be put to death for killing three people in Danville in 1996.
