The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Virginia's plea to reinstate the life-without-parole sentence of a man who participated in sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington area in 2002.

FILE - In this Oct. 20, 2003 file photo, Lee Boyd Malvo listens to court proceedings during the trial of fellow sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad in Virginia Beach, Va. The Supreme Court has agreed to consider Virginia’s plea to reinstate the life without parole sentence of a man who participated in sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region in 2002. The justices said Monday they will take up the state’s appeal in the case of Lee Boyd Malvo.

The justices said they will take up the state’s appeal in the case of Lee Boyd Malvo, who was 17 when he and John Allen Muhammad fatally shot 10 people in Maryland, Virginia and Washington. Malvo was sentenced to life-without-parole terms in Virginia and in Maryland, and Muhammad was sentenced to death and was executed in 2009.

The appeals court judges said a resentencing would determine whether Malvo qualifies as “one of the rare juvenile offenders” who can be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole because his “crimes reflect permanent incorrigibility.” They said if his crimes instead “reflect the transient immaturity of youth” he’s entitled to a sentence short of life without parole.

brookebuford I was in the NAVY and Stationed in DC when all of that happened and I remember it like it was just yesterday, it was so terrifying for everyone in the tri-state area. Thank Goodness it all came to an end.

Uhhh he shouldn’t walk free for this.

I remember that story!!! That’s great!!

And his dad was involved in it as well?

When white, substitute “terrorized” for alarmed or frightened.

His crime was so malicious he should never walk free again. Period.

wild.

Waste of tax payers money

Will Ruth be there?

mr_jettlife

Why is this douche bag still alive?

Yeah, he should never go free, the innocents he killed..why are we even considering this

The 4th Circuit has my complete contempt for even making this an issue.

THIS YOUNG MAN ( THOUGH COMMITTED HORRIFIC CRIMES) WAS A CHILD MANIPULATED BY AN ADULT. TO GIVE HIM A LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE SENTENCE. WOULD BE AN “ INTENTIONAL” MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE !! I WONDER WHY THE STATE IS PROCEEDING WITH THIS ? OH I KNOW WHY !

So his face is shown yet the Christchurch terrorists isnt

Give him the chair

NO

One of the least reported Islamic terrorist attacks of all time.

Supreme Court to consider whether Beltway sniper Lee Boyd Malvo deserves new sentencingBetween Sept. 5 and Oct. 22, 2002, John Allen Muhammad and Malvo killed 10 people and wounded others in sniper attacks in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Sure, give him the death sentence and save the taxpayers the expense of supporting him for another 20 or more years. We must allow ourselves to find root cause for mass killings by guns. And accept the fact for what it is. I ask myself, why is it 90% White Males and White Supremacist emboldened, American Citizens? no

Supreme Court will take up immigration-related case next termThe Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a case next term concerning Kansas' prosecution of three undocumented immigrants for using stolen Social Security numbers in an effort to gain employment. Is Ruth sleeping again? If American citizens can be prosecuted for using stolen Social Security numbers, it is ludicrous to think that illigal immigrants cannot be prosecuted for the same crime!! Is that a stuffed head of RBG? 🤔
