An escaped jail inmate in Virginia who killed a hospital security guard and a sheriff’s deputy faces the death penalty when he is sentenced in June. A jury in Abingdon recommended a death sentence for 26-year-old William Morva yesterday, two days after convicting him of capital murder in the 2006 shooting deaths in Montgomery County. Prosecutor Brad Finch called Morva’s crimes “depraved.” The escaped inmate was convicted of overpowering a sheriff’s deputy at a hospital and using the deputy’s pistol to kill security guard Derrick McFarland and sheriff’s Corporal Eric Sutphin. Morva smiled slightly and snapped his fingers as the sentencing verdicts were read. Harold McFarland, the father of victim Derrick McFarland, an unarmed security guard, said Morva reacted as if he’d “won the lottery.” The judge set formal sentencing for June 23rd. The eight-day trial was moved from Montgomery County because of difficulty seating a jury.
