It’s Death for John Mohammad!
2003-11-24
Fox reporting, jury just came back with death sentance, no links yet.

Here's a bit from AP...
A jury decided Monday that John Allen Muhammad should be executed for masterminding the sniper attacks that terrorized the Washington area for three weeks last fall. Jurors sent word they had reached a decision after deliberating five hours over two days. Jurors convicted the 42-year-old Army veteran of murder a week ago and then heard testimony in the sentencing phase.

#11  I am not a big fan of the death penalty - its too easy a way out etc. I would have a tough time arguing against these two being offed. I knew they were going down as soon as they moved the trial to Va Beach. Asking for a change of venue in Virginia is a bad move. They will always move it to Va Beach and the verdict will always be guilty.

#4  After about five hours of deliberations, a Virginia Beach jury has sentenced John Allen Muhammad to death over the shooting of a Maryland man. Last Monday, Muhammad was found guilty on two counts of capital murder and other charges in the shooting death of a Maryland man. The 42-year-old U.S. army veteran was sentenced to death for both capital murder counts -- one for taking part in multiple murders, the other for terrorism -- and also received 10 years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder and three years for the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He will be formally sentenced by a Virginia judge February 12. At that time, the judge could choose to reduce Muhammad's sentence to life in prison.
