Page "John Allen Muhammad" Paragraph 1

Under Virginia law, an inmate is allowed to choose the method by which he or she will be put to death, either lethal injection or electrocution.

Because Muhammad declined to select a method, by law, the method of lethal injection was selected for him.

He was offered a selection of a last meal, which he accepted, but refused publication of its contents.

However, J. Wyndal Gordon, Muhammad's attorney, told the Associated Press that Muhammad's last meal consisted of " chicken and red sauce, and some cakes ".
