McLEAN, Va. — A federal judge on Friday tossed out two life sentences for one of Virginia's most notorious criminals, sniper Lee Boyd Malvo, and ordered Virginia courts to hold new sentencing hearings.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson in Norfolk said Malvo is entitled to new sentencing hearings after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional.
Malvo was 17 when he was arrested in 2002 for a series of shootings that killed 10 people and wounded three over a three-week span in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, causing widespread fear throughout the region.
His accomplice, John Allen Muhammad, was executed in 2009.

New sentence should be hung from a tree and then buried with a pig.

BJ appointed him in 1993. Given recent rulings by leftist activist judges, I’m betting a scorched America effort is underway to pay us back for not electing another Republicrat.

Compassion for criminals and killers. No problem.
Protecting and preserving this nation. Why? They got their pensions.
Thugs in black robes .. the vestal virgins to the ugly underside of ‘the law’.

OK. Give him two 50 year sentences in solitary confinement to be served consecutively. As long as he dies in prison, I don’t care.

Fine! Have the resentencing hearing and give him two consecutive life sentences.
Works for me!
Only I don’t care for the fact that the creeps will be out of jail probably.

Was the fascist judge successful in overturning that one also?

Our laws are ridiculous. Either you are responsible for your actions or you are not. I would have to say that a teenager knows what they are doing and is as responsible as any adult.
This is ridiculous.
Tired of hearing the stupid argument that a young person does not know what they doing.
