Convicted Washington Sniper Muhammad Sentenced to Die (Update1)
March 9 (Bloomberg) -- John Allen Muhammad, one of two men accused in the sniper-shooting deaths of 10 people in the Washington, D.C., area in 2002, was sentenced to death by a Virginia judge for murdering a man at a gas station.

A jury in Virginia Beach, Virginia, convicted Muhammad of capital murder, terrorism, conspiracy and firearms violations in November for the death of Dean Harold Meyers, 53, who was gunned down in Manassas, Virginia, in October 2002. Meyers was the seventh sniper victim.

The same jury a week later recommended the death sentence for the crime. Prince William County Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr. today accepted the jury's recommendation and imposed the death penalty, county sheriff's Captain Brenda Perkins said in a telephone interview.

``There are no winners today,'' Meyers's brother Bob said at a televised press conference. ``This was not a victory. But yet it was something that had to be done and it was done right.''

Muhammad's execution is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 14, pending appeals, officials said. A formal date will likely be set after an appeal is filed, Prince William County Court Administrator Bob Marsh said.

Muhammad, 42, a U.S. Army veteran, and Lee Boyd Malvo, 18, a native of Jamaica, were accused of 13 shootings in Washington, Maryland and Virginia during a three-week period in October 2002. They are also suspects in shootings in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana and Washington state.

A jury in Chesapeake, Virginia, in December convicted Malvo of murdering a woman outside a suburban shopping center and recommended a sentence of life in prison. Both trials were moved from the Washington area because of publicity about the case.

Virginia has executed 89 people since the death penalty was reinstated in 1982, 27 by electrocution and the rest by lethal injection, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. That's second only to Texas, which has executed 321 prisoners.

Why, why, why ........

.... isn't a bullet put in his head today

Why do we have to pay to feed and house someone for 7 months who is going to be killed?

This execution should be on pay per view, just like people used to go see hangings

I'd pay $10 to see him killed and perhaps millions of others would to

What a great way to raise $$$$ and deter crime

Vick I agree, I am sick and tired of keeping these sick people alive.

Speed up this damn process and execute soon!

Our country today is lacking that immediate consequence....we need to start imposing much strickter and swifter punishments!!

And while i am on this tangent...parents need to start spanking their damn children again and get them in line! so we won't have to put THEM away in jail later!

;-)

I never stopped spanking my child he he he

Truthfully Sebastian has never been spanked YET, but he's only 31 months old and I'm sure his time will come -
But then again he is an exceptionally well behaved child

Kt Doodles · 03-09-2004

Good man!!

And you don't HAVE to spank if your children are raised well...
Remember, you cannot reason with a child, you just need to show them who is the parent and they will show necessary respect.

I was spanked a few times...and boy, whatever it was that I had done, it was the LAST time I ever tried it.

And look how perfect I came out! *wink*

Katie, you ARE perfect!

I read this about Muhammad on CNN and wanted to choke:

"A six-page document filed last week on Muhammad's behalf put aside questions of guilt or about legal procedure, asking Millette to reduce the verdict.

The filing said the court should consider Muhammad "was born an innocent infant, then became a child and a man who was buffeted by crushing poverty, neglect and abuse, by war, and ultimately by the loss of his children and his marriage."

Prosecutors allege that Muhammad was motivated by the loss of his children in a bitter divorce with his wife, Mildred.

The court filing, by attorneys Peter Greenspun and Jonathan Shapiro, goes on to say that Muhammad was "a proud member of the ROTC" and served in the Louisiana and Oregon national guards and the U.S. Army. They said he had no previous criminal record

The filing also said that the state would be wrong to sanction another killing and that it would serve only to make Muhammad's children fatherless."

Actually, I find my kids are more threatened by loss of computer time than a spanking....
