Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D) today ended a two-week moratorium on lethal injections after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the execution method did not violate constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.

In early April Kaine announced that he was suspending all executions pending the court’s decision, provoking criticism from Republicans in what is the second most death penalty-loving state in the union. But with the court’s decision, announced earlier today, Kaine put executions back on track, while at the same time stating that he would consider clemency requests on a case by case basis.

The execution of Edward Nathaniel Bell, who was convicted of capital murder for the 1999 killing of a Winchester police officer, is now set for July 24. Kaine’s moratorium earlier this month delayed the execution, which had been set for April 8.
