An attorney for a man convicted of taking part in sniper shootings that left 10 people dead in the Washington area is asking a judge to toss his life sentence because he was convicted as a juvenile.

In a motion filed Friday in a Maryland county court, public defender James Johnston argues that Lee Boyd Malvo’s mandatory life sentence is illegal because the U.S. Supreme Court determined such sentences are unconstitutional for juveniles. …

Well, he wanted to be such a hot shot assassin.

Put him on a high risk mission to assassinate some particularly hawkish imams in, say, Afghanistan. Kill all of them on the list — or die trying.

The Supreme Court said juveniles couldn’t be sentenced to death. It didn’t say they couldn’t be sentenced to life.

This boy very nearly ESCAPED:

They’d put him in an interrogation room and left him alone.

He displaced some ceiling panels, climbed through parts of the ceiling and was 90% of the way out of the building when they realized what had happened.

Defense attorneys will say or claim anything to save their client. If that’s all he has, his case is F’d.

In general , we do not know what to do with moozlims in America. So we placate them by installing footbaths and prayer rooms and give them privileges we do not afford other religions. Islam is NOT a religion — it is a political movement that has the intention to kill all non- moozlims.

My buddy lived in Stafford. He barely let his wife leave the house and certainly didn't allow her to go to a gas station.

This SOB should be screaming next to his buddy in hell.

Why isn’t he, malik hasan and dylann roof DEAD already?

ZERO justice.

Justice is best carried out by the intended victim (whenever possible) at the instance of the crime.

I pray that 0bozo doesn’t commute his sentense as an act of screwing us for one last time.

These people are NEVER executed for their crimes. Only when the government wants to cover up something, as with Timothy McVie, do they actually execute murderers. It’s a broken, evil, twisted system that rewards murder with a life of ease behind bars.

The Supreme Court only said mandatory life sentences for minors are unconstitutional, not life sentences for them in general. Lee Boyd Malvo would still get the same sentence regardless.

Amazing the difference adding or omitting a word can make - it seems when the Left does it, the bastardized version becomes their mantra.
