Read here to review requirements under Virginia law that define capital murder. In this specific case the accused did not meet the requirements set forth by the law therefore was charged with 1st degree murder.
Thanks,that is the first version where I've seen it explicitly stated that the perp has to be over 21 before killing someone below 14 gets a capital murder charge. What a stupid and arbitrary line to draw.
