Jeremy Muller Case
Late in the evening on 21 August 2003, defendant approached Lawrence Matthew Harding, who was seated in his own vehicle in a parking lot adjacent to his place of employment.   Defendant fatally shot Harding twice in the head and neck with a firearm and, after transporting him to Durham in the vehicle, placed his body inside the trunk and took from him a watch and approximately $130.00.  
Three days later, defendant abandoned the vehicle-along with Harding’s body-near a bus station in Richmond, Virginia.   The victim was not discovered until 29 August 2003, more than one week after the murder.   Defendant was apprehended and subsequently convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and robbery with a dangerous weapon and was sentenced to death for the murder.
