He was the oldest American on death row at the time of his death in February 2010. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Nash spent much of his life in and out of prison for crimes including transporting stolen vehicles, robbery, and attempted murder. He was first imprisoned in 1930 at 15 years old for armed robbery. In 1947 at 32 years old, he was sentenced to prison again after shooting a Connecticut police officer. He spent almost 25 years behind bars. In 1977 he was sentenced to life for having murdered postal carrier David J. Woodhurst, but escaped from a prison work crew in 1982, at age 66, where soon after he went into a coin shop in Phoenix, Arizona, and shot an employee dead. Nash was sentenced to death in 1983. His attorneys claimed that senility had rendered him legally incompetent to be executed, describing him as a "doddering old man, who can't hear, can't see, can't walk, and is very, very loony". The sentence was never carried out; Nash died of natural causes on February 12, 2010, at the age of 94 in the Arizona Eyman State Prison Complex. At the time of his death, he was the oldest person on death row in the US. Sadamichi Hirasawa died on death row in Japan in 1987, nearly one year older with a full 95 years and three months.

rdf:langString Viva Leroy Nash, född 10 september 1915, död 12 februari 2010, var en amerikansk brottsling som tillbringade större delen av sitt liv bakom galler och sammanlagt 27 år i dödscell innan han avled av ålderdom vid 94 års ålder. Han föddes i Utah 1915 och dömdes 15 år gammal till fängelse i ett federalt fängelse i Kansas för väpnat rån. Efter frigivning sköt han en polis i Connecticut 1947 och dömdes till livstids fängelse. Frigiven efter 25 år begick han ett fullbordat mord i Salt Lake City 1977 och dömdes till livstid. Han rymde 1982 och begick i flykten ytterligare ett mord, i Arizona, varefter han dömdes till döden, nästan 70 år gammal. Nashs advokater hävdade att senilitet gjort honom oförmögen att skilja på rätt och fel, och fast han aldrig blev benådad verkställdes dödsdomen aldrig. Vid sin död var han en av världens äldsta fångar och tveklöst den äldsta i dödscell liksom en av de som tillbringat mest tid bakom galler. Av sina nästan 95 år tillbringade han endast tio vuxna i frihet (1942-1947 och 1972-1977).
