Carol Williams (center), the first wife of John Allen Muhammad, and her life partner, Robert Tailer, talk with Cheryl Weitz, a family member of one of the sniper victims, outside the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Va., where Muhammad's execution will take place Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009. Ms. Williams planned to visit Muhammad a last time but was denied access "for security reasons," she was told. "I am here for closure," Ms. Williams said, "and to take him home to Louisiana to be buried." (Astrid Riecken/The Washington Times)
