(( The third confession was good enough, however, for both the U.S. Appeals Court and, yesterday, the Supreme Court.
Correll admitted then to him and two friends stopping Charles W. Bousman, Junior in Roanoke.
He said they strangled Bousman until he passed out, stuffed him in the trunk of his own car, drove him to the Bay Roc Marina area of Smith Mountain Lake, and stabbed him to death with his own knife.
Correll's attorneys made the argument that his accomplices, Richard Reynolds and John Dalton, played a greater role in the murder.
Governor Allen this afternoon promised a swift decision.

The motive in this case, beyond robbery, was believed to be homophobia.

Last year, the state started allowing victim's families to do so.
Corrections officials will NOT reveal if they are on the witness list. Q&A Has everyone chosen lethal injection since it became legal?
