RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia has denied parole to convicted sniper killer Lee Boyd Malvo, ruling that he is still a risk to the community two decades after he and his partner terrorized the Washington, D.C., region with a series of random shootings.
Malvo was 17 when he and John Allen Muhammad shot and killed 10 people and wounded three others over a three-week span in October 2002. Multiple other victims were shot and killed across the country in the prior months as the duo made their way to the nation's capital region from Washington state.
Malvo was convicted of capital murder in Virginia and sentenced to life in prison without parole. But a series of Supreme Court rulings and a change in Virginia law gave Malvo the opportunity to seek parole after serving nearly 20 years in custody.
The Virginia Parole Board rejected his request on Aug. 30, finding that Malvo remains a risk to the community and should serve more of his sentence before being released on parole, state records of Parole Board decisions for August show.
"Release at this time would diminish seriousness of crime; Serious nature and circumstances of your offense(s)," the Parole Board wrote.
Malvo's accomplice, John Allen Muhammad, was executed in Virginia in 2009. Malvo, now 37, was sentenced to life without parole for the three Virginia killings. But after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that mandatory life sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional, two federal courts found that Malvo was entitled to new sentencing hearings. The Virginia legislature also passed a law in 2020 that gave juvenile offenders an opportunity to seek parole after serving 20 years.
Malvo was a 15-year-old from Jamaica who had been sent to live in Antigua when he met the much older Muhammad.

GOOD
He should NEVER be allowed out. NEVER.
NEVER.
He should recieve the same he gave others.
John Fetterman will let him out.
Remember, he was committing jihad and the media covered that up.
> sentenced to life in prison without parole.
That’s always been a BS alternative to the death penalty.
The death penalty exists for a reason.
He should ask Shrek to intervene and work to get him free. Malvo is just the type of guy Shrek loves.
Agreed. Why did this black man not get sent to the gallows?
A firing squad would be nice...just a shot in the leg annually.
Because he was 17 at the time is the likely answer.
And before they were caught, the media told us non-stop that the shooter was a lone white guy.
If Virginia ever grants him parole, can the rest of us say he must be confined to an area within a 5 mile radius of the members of the parole board?
We need a parole board board.
fetterman the damn idiot!
First dim-0s pretty much take away the death penalty from murdering scum, and now this dumb sonofabitch wants to abolish life without parole!!
Moose

Winner!!!!
