Under Virginia law at the time, a defendant convicted of capital murder was allowed to choose the method by which he or she will be put to death—either lethal injection or electrocution. As Muhammad declined to select a method, by law the method of lethal injection was selected for him. He was offered a selection of a last meal, which he accepted. Muhammad's last meal consisted of chicken, red sauce, and cake.
