By Robert Barnes Robert Barnes Reporter covering the U.S. Supreme Court Email Bio Follow March 18 at 9:42 AM The Supreme Court on Monday said it will consider whether Lee Boyd Malvo, the teenage half of the Beltway snipers who terrorized the Washington region 16 years ago, may challenge his sentence of life in prison without parole.
After a 2003 trial in which Malvo was convicted of shooting FBI analyst Linda Franklin outside a Fairfax County Home Depot store, a jury decided against the death penalty. Instead, it recommended life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. But a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond said it was clear Malvo deserved a new sentencing: no judge ever considered whether Malvo’s crime represented “irreparable corruption.”

Horrid that the SCOTUS or any other court would use my taxpayer money to consider letting this monster go. They purposely killed people and destroyed families. The only thing I would support is consideration for capital punishment. Letting progressives release him is a travesty.
He actually should be hung, but if Jarod and DJ get um hard and rev al get involved with Ben Crump, he will get 4 million and a new house and a YALE DEGREE
Fry him
no
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?
Sure, give him the death sentence and save the taxpayers the expense of supporting him for another 20 or more years.

Opinion | How the Supreme Court weakened Congress on emergency declarationsTo understand how a 1983 Supreme Court decision dramatically affected the way the government works, consider what Congress had intended when it passed the National Emergencies Act. seems like a problem that should have been fixed 30 years ago, not when someone they don't like is using power they have Resolutions are meaningless jibberish until they are signed by the President, which will not happen. The basis of your whole story is false. What hasn't the Supreme Court weakened in the last 30 years? They've destroyed any chance at removing money from politics. Gerrymandering. Guns. Voting rights.
