A Corrections officer walks past a guard tower at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Va., Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009. Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammed is scheduled to be executed at the facility. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine refused to spare the life of Muhammad and cleared the way for his execution for the 2002 sniper attacks that left 10 dead.
Sniper John Allen Muhammad is meeting with relatives in the hours before his execution and one of his attorneys described the convicted killer as fearless.
Attorney J. Wyndal Gordon said Muhammad had no regrets and would die with dignity Tuesday night in Virginia. Gordon also insisted that Muhammad was innocent.
Gordon says Muhammad met with one of his sons before the execution and then reminisced with the attorney about the time he spent with his son before Muhammad went to prison.
A sister of one of Muhammad's ex-wives says Muhammad returned from the first Gulf War a changed man. Sheron (shuh-RON) Norman says the nation should do a better job of caring for its veterans.
The 48-year-old Muhammad is set to die at 9 p.m. for three-week killing spree in 2002 that left 10 dead.
