The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to dismiss the case of 'D.C. sniper' Lee Boyd Malvo, who shot and killed 10 people as a teen in 2002, after Virginia changed a criminal sentencing law for juveniles.

Malvo, who is now 35 and held at Red Onion supermax prison in Virginia, should be eligible for release in 2022. Muhammad was sentenced to death and executed in 2009. However, in 2018, a federal appeals court ruled that in light of the 2012 and 2017 Supreme Court decisions, Malvo deserved a new sentencing hearing.

He is not being released. The title is misleading. Supreme Court was looking at a challenge from Malvo on the life w/o parole sentence and SC just dismissed the case bc of a new VA law. He's still jail for life bc of other VA and MD laws, as he should be.

Irony being when a clickbait headline leads to no one clicking.

This is wrong!!

Yes, read the article.. in fairness, the post could be much more clear about the implications.

Click bait

Keep up with him.

Responding to all the “Read the Article” replies..... I have...and think that this “Article” is a non-newsworthy tweet + another tweet that taunts the public with a somewhat misleading title of the article - intending to get those replies 😣

This needs a better headline ... none of this is the point of the article.

Feels like this happened a few years ago. But it was 18.

Severely misleading headline

What? I read it twice and can’t maje sense of it. Must check grown up news outlet with grown up writers

Good for him he deserves a second shot at hitting his target in life by striving for a perfect 10 at any thing he puts his mind too and eyes on or eye on!? LMAO...sniper jokes

WTF!!!! He should be dead and done with this life. Take a life lose your life! That simple!

Look like Giannis

What

The headline is so damn misleading , it’s aggravating

Nice click baity wording.

What the

Is Supreme Court in America did this ? Wtf🤵🏼White men did this

I was 15 when a lot of this happened and am just learning more about it at 33. The Podcast Monster just did an awesome season about this. Sad that this young man was groomed at such a young age to take part in these murders. His autobiography is wild.

Is there any research that shows that teens who commit such atrocities can change as adults? I know the brain isn’t fully developed until age 25. I remember this clearly as I grew up in Maryland when this happened.

😂😂😂😂 readthearticle

Everybody saying 'ReAd tHe ArTicLe' are losers, dont read the article. Post your opinion based on the headline only

Cases like these is reason for death sentences. He is wasting the court time if he feels any remorse then he should just accept a life sentence.

And we wonder why things happen on this country ! Killers are actually rewarded for their actions ! if convicted they are rewarded with better benefits than American law abiding taxpayers! Look at Nick Cruz trial was just postponed not enough evidence ! Yeah we don’t need guns !!

WTHeck do u mean? I live in the DMV. Do u knw what they did here? He should be in prison for life

I vote for him to be executed .

People react, infer, and verbally vomit

Every anti racist must be held accountable for this.

Good news to all teenage gang bangers and lunatics. Same governor who wants to kill babys and takes pictures in blackface👍🏽

This is kind of a click-baity headline isn't it?

What a waste of time since he is a lifer on other counts! But ya gotta hand it to nitwits for being thorough! Can’t wait to see the legal bills.

No way. Cold blooded killer.

🚨 HE IS **NOT** BEING RELEASED. 🚨 Typical clickbait headline.

Is Virginia still a part of the US ? Because they don’t feel like they have the public’s best interest at heart.

He is serving four life sentences in Virginia and six life without parole sentences in Maryland, where he is also appealing for a new sentence.

“But neither the latest change in state law nor the Supreme Court dismissal eliminates the likelihood that Malvo will live any of his life outside of confinement. He is serving four life sentences in Virginia and six life without parole sentences in Maryland”

*READ* *THE* *ARTICLE* *BEFORE* *YOU* *COMMENT*

Read the article people.

you sure buried the lede pretty deep here in order to smear judicial reform measures; you couldn't be arsed to mention his 7 other life without parole sentences?

WTF ? CONSEQUENCES!!!! The victims are still dead.

Has anyone commenting actually read the article ffs

He’s not getting released you dopes. Read the article.

Hopefully, he is reformed. I’d hate to think a sniper who killed innocent people randomly will be walking the streets following a possible parole.

Very nice

That was fast. Feel like I read he was just up for early release this week.

He was a manipulated kid. I bet he never commits another crime.

Wait wut ?

The Beltway Shooter. That was some shit.

Wow. I don’t agree with that!

He should have never been in prison to begin with. I am tired of PoC being warehoused so the prison industry can make profits. We need to free all PoC from the prisons and jails. Once they are released the prison population will be much lower and we can close most prisons.

What?

Welp. That's what happens when you murder 10 people.

Fantastic! Maybe he’ll shoot more people.

Supreme Court Weighs Law on Urging Noncitizens to Stay in U.S. IllegallyThe Supreme Court wrestled with a clash between free-speech principles and the government’s effort to control U.S. borders, weighing whether a federal law that makes it a crime to encourage or induce noncitizens to stay in the country illegally is constitutional. 🤦🏿‍♂️ They are seen as organized crime related waves and 'Nature babies' which had been created without any life standards or meaning to live for (not a religion which is another problem) they just had food to make babies who want to live equal to who studied and worked without doing..
