The Norfolk Four: Clemency petition sits on Kaine's desk

It was a curious time for Danial Williams to commit murder. 

On that fateful Tuesday, the 25-year-old Norfolk sailor had been married to his longtime girlfriend for less than two weeks, and she was recuperating from surgery for ovarian cancer. His parents had just arrived for a visit from Michigan and were staying at a nearby campground.

The foursome was heading for dinner that July evening when police, investigating the shocking discovery of a neighbor's dead body earlier in the day, interrupted the plans.

Just a few questions. Shouldn't take long.

If Danial drove his truck downtown, he might be able to join the rest before they'd finished eating.
