Court sets execution date for Washington, DC sniper mastermind
A Virginia judge has ruled that the mastermind behind the 2002 sniper attacks in Washington, DC that left 10 people dead will be executed on November 10. John Allen Muhammad is expected to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and ask Governor Timothy M. Kaine for clemency.
Muhammad was sentenced to death for the slaying of Dean Meyers, one of 10 people shot to death during a 2002 rampage that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area.
uhammad and teenage accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo killed six people in Alabama and Louisiana before moving on to Maryland, D.C. and Virginia, where Meyers was shot at a Manassas gas station. Six others were wounded. Malvo, who was born in Jamaica, is serving life in prison for the shooting spree. Last month a federal appeals court rejected Muhammad's argument that prosecutors withheld critical evidence and that Muhammad never should have been allowed to act as his own attorney for a portion of his trial because he was too mentally impaired.

But.. but.. Chief Moose assured us that the sniper attacks were by angry white males.
They must have the wrong guys.
/ sarc.
Fry them both until extra well done.
Invite Chief Moose to watch.
Follow up headline: “Holder Recommends Clemency.”
I say they put him out in a yard with a clearly visible sniper taking aim at him and tell him that he will be shot at some point. But the sniper doesn’t fire right away, he just keeps the rifle aimed at him. Maybe he’ll shoot in the next second, or minute, or hour, hard to tell. But he is going to shoot at some point.
Adios, beotch.
So many Mohammedan murderers, so little rope...
I’ll wager 75 quatloos that the dude is never executed, and that he’s let out of prison on humanitarian grounds in the year 2055.
Only if they're demoniacally possessed by white people.
Well, snce them Muslims like Sharia Law so much, why not give them a taste of it.
Repeat after me.....Federal courts...Federal courts....Federal courts....
But, but, but...the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment!! This poor man has had to sit in a cell for 7!! count’em, 7 years, and now this is what he has to look forward to?? A painful death by injection where he lays down and goes to sleep and his heart stops and he’s gone within 20 minutes?!?! WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?! >:-(
/stoopid libbie rant off
About time, wish justice was swifter in this country. I don’t appreciate that my tax dollars have gone to support this monster in prison. >:-(
He’ll be let out in 2012, if Bambi and Holder are still around.
Finally some good news out of DC!
We can’t execute this poor individual. I’m sure it’s all a self-esteem issue brought by being spanked by his mother. Can we please have a little compassion here?

We need Health care Passed and signed in 4 weeks.A convicted muslim sniper and yet we pause.
How will they kill him twice?
>>”Good idea. Al lwe need is a sword and an executioner.”
And, in this particular case, neither needs to be very sharp.

I love a story with a warm and fuzzy ending.

Don’t get your hopes up. I predict tons of appeals before the Nov 10 execution date rolls around.
