Jury Finds John Allen Muhammad, “D.C. Sniper”, Guilty of Six Murders

Posted on May 30, 2006

Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad was convicted of six more of the killings Tuesday after a trial in which he acted as his own attorney and the prosecution’s star witness was his young protege and partner in crime, Lee Boyd Malvo.

Muhammad, 45, is already under a death sentence in Virginia for a killing there. The most he can get for the six Maryland slayings is life in prison without parole.

The jury took slightly more than four hours to convict him after a four-week trial.

The trial marked the first time Malvo testified against the man prosecutors say was his mentor and manipulator.

Personally I think he should serve the death penalty first, then they can send his body back to Maryland for the rest. He’ll probably end up serving his life sentences before the justice system ever gets around to executing him. If he writes a children’s book, maybe the moonbats will be calling for his release.
