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 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

Why weren’t those two POS’s hung?
why is this feral still breathing?
DC Judge DC Court DC Jury
malvo should have been hung in a gallows regardless of his age.
Another thing I’ll never forget, a year after 9/11.
And to think they were found at a rest stop we always passed on our many trips to the west visiting my cousins.
Muhammad was put to death by lethal injection.
A 17-year-old knows damn well that murder is wrong. And if he doesn’t he needs to be removed from the gene pool.
This man helped in the premeditated murder of 10 people. Being 17 should not protect him from the appropriate punishment. Which he has not gotten by the way
One guy (who survived) was shot right up the road from where I lived. I can remember going to the gas station & getting a pump where I could shelter behind the car door while filling up. There was a gas station across from a construction site & the local police took to sitting there so that cut down significantly on where a shooter could be located ... made you feel slightly safer while hiding behind your car door.
It was a bad scene all the way around, horrific for the victims/their families. Malvo should have been executed too except he was a ‘juvenile’ at the time.
Man, that twenty years went by fast!
The Sniper’s Plan: Kill Six Whites A Day For 30 Days (Muhammad - Malvo)

The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 5-25-2006 | Harry Malvo testified that Muhammad, driven by hatred of America because of its “slavery, hypocrisy and foreign policy” and his belief that “the white man is the devil”, planned to kill six whites a day for 30 days.
Malvo alleged that Muhammad had said: “We are going to go to the Washington DC area and we are going to terrorize these people.”
They then intended to move to Baltimore for stage two of their campaign, to shoot a policeman and then blow up explosives at his funeral.
More explosives would target the ambulances that would then rush to the funeral. Another plan to kill three busloads of schoolchildren was thwarted because the pair were arrested when Malvo fell asleep while keeping watch at a Maryland petrol station.

Malvo: couldn’t shoot a pregnant white woman
Muhammad’s ultimate plan, Malvo testified, was to indoctrinate 140 young homeless men at a Canada compound who would “shut things down” in cities across America, unless they received £5 million.
Malvo had originally confessed to being the man who pulled the trigger because, as the younger defendant, he was likely to escape the death penalty. He has now admitted only one killing.
The other murders were allegedly carried out by Muhammad, who crawled into the back of their converted blue Chevrolet and shot the victims as they filled their cars with petrol, did their shopping or waited at bus stops.
The attacks left the Washington suburbs transfixed with terror. People knelt down by their rear wheels to pump petrol or sprinted into shops from their cars to avoid the snipers.
Muhammad had treated Malvo like an adopted son, but now the two have turned on each other in a dramatic courtroom confrontation as Muhammad, acting as his own lawyer, cross-examines his former accomplice.
Malvo’s cross-examination, which began on Tuesday, continued yesterday before a court in Rockville, Maryland, outside Washington.
“I think he’s a coward,” Malvo said of the man he had called his father, before turning to him in court and calmly saying: “You took me into your house and made me a monster. You fed me, you clothed me and you made me your child.”
Malvo further testified that Muhammad wanted him to shoot pregnant white women. At one moment, he even had a pregnant woman in his sights in a fast-food restaurant.
“I just couldn’t take the shot,” said Malvo. Between asking questions of his old protégé, Muhammad watched calmly, his chin resting on his hand, as Malvo, on the verge of tears, revealed the full gruesome extent of their plans.
In each attack, Malvo, on look-out duty, gave the order to fire to Muhammad who lay in the back of the car,
pointing his rifle through a hole cut above the rear number plate. When there were no witnesses, Malvo gave the signal to shoot, saying: “You got a go.” Muhammad has been convicted of murder in Virginia where he is on Death Row and is now on trial for six of the killings in neighbouring Maryland.
Muhammad claims that both men are innocent of the six murder charges, while Malvo has already pleaded guilty, accepting six life sentences without parole.
Maryland prosecutors wanted a second trial in case the Virginia conviction is overturned on appeal.
Goody for him. Too bad they didn’t do the same to his little pal.
That’s is what it’s like when the news no longer happens on TV to other people. But even worse was 2020, when the TV news became all lies, and the real stuff happening to real people was covered up. “Mostly pieceful demonstrations” my a@@.
That saved some lives.
No, they were tried and convicted by the state of Virginia, not by the District of Columbia.
The two dirtbags were tried, convicted, and sentenced in Maryland and Virginia. DC and Federal charges were never brought to trial.
I stand corrected it was Just a guess. I should have included a question mark
Time to burn some cities down2, and maybe rob some jewelry stores, and jump a few fast food counters
His partner was executed. The SC ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional for offenders under 18 at the time of the crime.
