| Malvo gets life |
| 2003-12-23 |
| The jury in the Washington sniper case Tuesday spared Lee Boyd Malvo from the fate awaiting his mentor John Allen Muhammad - the death penalty - after his lawyers portrayed him as an impressionable boy who had fallen under Muhammad’s murderous spell. Malvo, 18, will be instead be locked away for the rest of his life. |

| #4 Mike--But were any of the other shootings in VA, where the death penalty is an option (and for a 17YO offender at that)? It's not the case in DC or MD. |

| #3 If this guy doesn't deserve the death penalty, I don't know who does. Lets hope the next jury sees fit to put this POS out of our misery |

| #1 Remember, this is for just one killing in a multi-state killing spree. There will be other opportunities for the death penalty. |
