“CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) – 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.”
A classic overstatement. The fact of the matter is, several other states will want a crack at this guy.
