Chris Thomas
Chris Thomas was executed by lethal injection on January 10, 2000, at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Virginia, where he was held. Sources say he was 17 at the time of the events in his case, and that he had received a last-minute stay of execution the previous June. Supporters, including a Virginia anti-death-penalty group, said that executions of juveniles should not happen. His family, including his wife Glenda, his parents and friends, gathered for a vigil, and his mother placed a toy on an altar, apparently one of his.
Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state. Supporters, including a Virginia anti-death-penalty group, objected that he was 17 at the time of the crime and that juvenile executions should not happen.
Reported by: Virginia Department of Corrections (the agency that held him). The only account of how this person died comes from the agency that held him.
