Lee Boyd Malvo, testifying in a Rockville courtroom yesterday, called his former mentor and convicted sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad a "coward" and said he is offering his side of the 2002 attacks "for the victims, for what it's worth, if anything." "I am not proud of myself, and I'm just trying to make amends, if possible," said Malvo, 21, at the end of a dramatic day in the trial of Muhammad, who faces the death penalty in six fatal Montgomery County sniper attacks -- part of a three-week shooting spree that killed 10 persons in the Washington area.

"And I meant it to sting!" -- Bertie Wooster
This youth is facing life in prison and I am grateful that he has already repented and seen the light. All the more reason why Christians should recognize the importance of prison ministries. Islam is now the fastest-growing religion inside the prison, with predictable results when short-timers get back on the streets.
I doubt this. This punk that pumped sniper rounds into innocent men and women from long range calls his 'mentor' a coward. I doesn't matter to me what he has seen or hasn't. They should both be executed.
Damn I thought is was the crazy prophet they were talking about..I guess it's all one in the same \.
It's not possible. Enjoy life in prison, scum.
I was in Maryland when this was happening. I was dozing on the couch with FOX on, and they broke in and said 5 people have been shot in seperate instances in Montgomery County. MC is the home to Maryland's elite liberals. I knew something was up then. I was there for a few days, and the bodies kept piling up. I also remember the WUSA guy saying that it was probably a militia group "similar to the group that Mcviegh was associated with" That is a quote. I knew then it wasnt anything of the sort..
"They should both be executed."
Better yet they should be released into the middle of the desert and told the victims families may be stalking them. Meanwhile, police snipers pick them off seperately at some point.
I doubt this.
What reason would he have to make himself look good now that he has already been sentenced to life without possibility of parole in another state, and faces several more trials as "insurance" against his ever getting out?
They should both be executed.
In this case of a youth who was under the influence of an older man, it was merciful not to execute him. His testimony actually is providing new evidence against Muhammed. I find it interesting. He mightn't have "turned" on him without some sort of conversion experience, since there is nothing to gain.
His motivations since his killing spree and what he has done since mean nothing to me. I think he should have been executed for the acts he committed and what he has said or done since doesn't change that.
How come bad guys all have 3 names?
"How come bad guys all have 3 names?"
Their middle name is usually Wayne too.
Just think what a freakshow "Mohammed Wayne MacBeth-Smith" would be.
insufficient image clarity to be certain it is a hand.
The young kids will just say anything to avoid being killed, won't they?
