Sniper Lee Malvo denied parole in Virginia
Fox 5 DC ^ | 9/15/22

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.

Why is there never a mention of former assistant director James Kallstrom of the FBI running around on the media claiming that the FBI was on the wrong track by not going after white supremacist militias?

Lee Malvo is qnother murderer who came into the country illegally. He was actually caught and released instead of being incarcerated and then deported.

He also stole a rifle and was already a "prohibited person".

A foreigner with a stolen rifle killing American citizens should be tried as an attacking invader out of uniform, tried, and executed.

Let Jamaica take back that little murderous tasbard never to step foot on US soil again. This saves US taxpayers from having to pay any more $$ to house this cretin. He should have been executed too and so what that he was a juvenile. He chose his own fate.

Why did this black man not get sent to the gallows?

Because the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia did not provide a death penalty for minors. The Commonwealth killed his partner in crime, John Allen Muhammad, via lethal injection. The Virginia courts literally hit both of these scumbags with the maximum sentences available to them.

Maybe Malvo can meet up with Mark David Chapman and John Hinkley so they can form a trio and perform concerts?

Thanks! Here's additional victims listed - Criminal Minds Wiki: John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo A number survived including a Clearwater, FL older man, just "down the street" from our city. Fatalities and woundings are separated with weapons specified in most cases. Thanks again for your research!

James Kallstrom, the same man who sold us TWA 800 was the result of sparks? The same man Rush supported? I never understood that

I’m surprised that the current FBI and DOJ hasn’t paroled him and hired him.

To: Ouderkirk; All

2006:”On November 8, Malvo was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences without possibility of parole...As Malvo was 17 when he committed the crimes, he cannot face the death penalty, but still may be extradited to Alabama, Louisiana, and other states for prosecution...On June 16, 2006, Malvo told authorities that he and Muhammad were guilty of four additional shootings in 2002 (_in other states)”—Wiki

And why up for parole if no poss. of it?”On June 21, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit unanimously upheld a lower court’s decision that Malvo’s sentences of life without parole were unconstitutional. Judge Paul V. Niemeyer wrote in the decision that “Malvo was 17 years old when he committed the murders, and he now has the retroactive benefit of new constitutional rules that treat juveniles differently for sentencing.” (ibid.)

I am tired of hearing the stupid argument that a 17 Year old could not have understood what they were doing.

Particularly when 17 year olds get to make all sorts of other decisions.

Particularly when gangs use 17 year olds to commit crimes because the penalties are lower.
