Four-time killer Justus executed in Virginia electric chair
Buddy Earl Justus, 37, was put to death at the State Penitentiary after being convicted of raping and killing Ida Mae Moses in 1978 and fatally shooting two other women in Georgia and Florida. He offered no final words, nodded to a sheriff and smiled at a prison minister as the chair activated. The sheriff said the case has haunted him, noting Justus had his minister present. The mother of Moses was nearly nine months pregnant at the time.
