Va. Man Who Killed Neighbors Over Driveway Dispute Executed
"Former Halifax Commonwealth's Attorney John Greenbacker, who prosecuted the case, said the Coles were driving along the road on July 3, 2002, when they encountered Hudson's truck blocking the way. A farm worker testified that Hudson and Wesley Cole exchanged words, then Hudson grabbed a 12-gauge shotgun out of his truck and shot Stanley Cole as he sat in the front seat.
Wesley Cole tried to flee, but tripped and fell in a ditch. Hudson shot him in the back of the head.
Greenbacker said Hudson then drove to Wesley Cole's house next door and found his wife, Patsy, gardening. A neighbor testified that Patsy Cole called out to Hudson and Hudson opened fire. "
