A Danville judge has changed his mind -- and it could spare the life of a
Danville killer.
Judge James Ingram says he sentenced William Ira Saunders to death in 1990
based on Saunders' violent behavior in jail AFTER his conviction.
Now Ingram and Danville prosecutor Bill Fuller have asked Governor George
Allen-- and the Governor's agreed -- to offer Saunders life in prison instead
of death.
Saunders shot Mervin Gwill in the back of the head and robbed him during an
alleged drug deal in Danville in 1989.
Prosecutor Bill Fuller says several of the state's witnesses have since
racked up lengthy criminal records that would make them unreliable witnesses on
appeal.
So if Saunders gives up his appeals, he gets life in prison WITHOUT parole.

NAT SOUND OPEN
(( UVa's Ryan Kuehl, the newest Redskin joined some of the franchise greatest
players ever to christen the stadium and pay tribute to the late Jack Kent
Cooke, a man who spent 10 years of his life trying to build his team a new
home, only to die 160 days before it opened for business.
((NORV TURNER/REDSKINS HEAD COACH:))
The stadium is a fitting monument to Mr. Cooke and his perseverance.
For starters, it was built in a record 17 and a half months - five months
faster than the previous record of 22 to construct Pro Player in Miami.
To support the 80 thousand fans who will inhabit it each season, the stadium
is made of 650 thousand cinder blocks, 268 million pounds of concrete and 9
million pounds of steel.
((MAX FEINMAN/SKINS FAN FROM LYNCHBURG:))
And there's more to this place than just nuts and bolts.
38 concession stands and 2 formal restaurants serve everything from pizza to
steak to crab cakes, but nothing's free - one beer costs $5 bucks.
Of course money is no object for many folks, like the ones who inhabit the
208 luxury suites.
Each suite has leather couches, chairs, TVs, refrigerators, and a mahogany
sink and bar area.
It's one of the best seats in the house, but it will cost you as much as $160
thousand a season to own one.
There are cheaper seats but you still better bring your ATM card.
It will cost a family four over $200 bucks just to get in the gate.
