Strickler was convicted of capital murder in the death of a James Madison University student.
The Supreme Court stayed his execution earlier this month so they can review the case and see if Strickler received a fair trial.
Eight documents concerning the prosecution's eyewitnesses were never revealed to Strickler's defense.
His lawyers say that Strickler might have been spared the death sentence if that information would have been available.
