He did so, he says, after much soul-searching and in the knowledge that lawyers are bound by the ethics of their profession not to reject cases simply because they may be unpopular.
It's no great shock that he embraces the death penalty; what's surprising is that, as the state's top law enforcement official, he would imply that there is something wrong with representing defendants or convicts in capital cases.
In fact, the attorney general in Virginia, whatever his stance on capital punishment, should be applauding lawyers who agree to represent inmates on death row, many of whom have no defense counsel whatever.

 Virginia Attorney General
The Attorney General responded that a licensed track is by virtue of that license authorized to operate such a facility, but that a special vote of the county or city was necessary for such a facility to be operated.
Consequently, I am required to conclude that should the Commission issue a license to operate a racetrack and/or a satellite facility, the clear definition of the term "simulcast horse racing" permits the licensee to operate a satellite facility on a daily basis pursuant to the terms of the license.
The Virginia Racing Commission, therefore, clearly has been given the sole authority by the General Assembly to promulgate regulations and conditions for the operation of a satellite facility in the Commonwealth.
