ANOTHER NOI COP KILLER The N.Y. Times imagines an 'anti-violence' Nation of Islam Exclusive: Jack Cashill has historical review of group's bloodshed in wake of recent Capitol attack By Jack Cashill "Capitol Suspect Struggled Before Attack, but Motive Remains Unclear." So reads the headline of the New York Times bio of "the dependable and good-natured" Capitol cop killer, Noah Green. Indeed, so deeply does the article flirt with parody that it had me wondering for a moment whether I was reading the Babylon Bee.

WASHINGTON - A federal district court judge has overturned the sentence of Lee Boyd Malvo, one of the two people convicted in D.C.-area Beltway sniper attacks nearly 15 years ago, according to a ruling released Friday. Malvo was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the sniper-style attacks committed around the region in October 2002 along with John Allen Muhammad. Ten people were killed and three others were shot during a three-week period. Malvo appealed to the court saying he should not have been sentenced to life without parole because he was 17 years old at the time of...

An attorney for a man convicted of taking part in sniper shootings that left 10 people dead in the Washington area is asking a judge to toss his life sentence because he was convicted as a juvenile. In a motion filed Friday in a Maryland county court, public defender James Johnston argues that Lee Boyd Malvo’s mandatory life sentence is illegal because the U.S. Supreme Court determined such sentences are unconstitutional for juveniles. …

One of the Washington D.C. snipers confessed to killing a man on a Southeast Side golf course four years ago, Tucson police said Friday. The confession from Lee Boyd Malvo on Thursday brings a sense of closure to Jerry Taylor's family, who for many years have believed that Malvo and fellow sniper John Allen Muhammad were behind the slaying on March 19, 2002. Taylor's daughter, Cheryll Witz, said she was ready to forgive Malvo for his crime. "I really do need to forgive him and I do believe he was brainwashed" by Muhammad, Witz said Friday. For several years, Tucson...

Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) denied clemency for John Allen Muhammad on Tuesday, clearing the way for the sniper to be executed by lethal injection at 9 p.m. and putting an end to one of the most trying local criminal cases in U.S. history. Muhammad, 48, was convicted of capital murder in the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers on Oct. 9, 2002, at a gas station outside of Manassas, part of a spree that left 10 people dead in the Washington area and included shootings in several other states. A jury in Virginia Beach, where the trial was moved...

John Allen Muhammed, the Beltway Sniper, is sentenced to die by lethal injection tomorrow evening at nine o’clock. The Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal. It is not expected that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine will intervene. I’m not sure whether I should say, “Let God have mercy on him,” or “May he rot in hell.” A little of both, I think.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to block Tuesday's scheduled execution of sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad. The Court did not comment Monday on why it refused to consider his appeal. Muhammad is scheduled to die by injection at a Virginia prison for the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during a three-week spree in October 2002 across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

In court papers filed Tuesday, Muhammad's attorneys say the execution should be put off while the court considers whether his trial lawyer was ineffective.

Dancy Jr., 36, faces a maximum 10 years in prison at sentencing June 24. He pleaded guilty to making a false statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm.

During the November 2003 trial of sniper John Allen Muhammad, Dancy admitted he bought it for Muhammad. Muhammad, 44, and teen accomplice Lee...

The Supreme Court has murdered the Constitution. It was a subtle murder with no blood visible. We know they did it because they left a coded confession, in the form of what appears to be a legal decision. Like many crime scenes, this one is deceptive, at first. It looks like the Court simply decided the case of Roper v. Simmons, the juvenile death penalty case from Missouri. But a little C.S.I. investigation reveals the truth. There are two deaths in this matter. The first was a woman who was kidnaped from her home by Christopher Simmons. He told his...

Most 'spiked' stories of 2003 Posted: December 31, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Back in the old days of newspapering in America – when reporters and editors still used typewriters, pencils and paper to craft their stories – news articles were carried by copy boys from one editor to another. The couriers picked up the copy in one wire basket and brought it to a desk on another. At each stage of the article's development, there would be new scrutiny. Spelling would be checked. The writing would be reworked. Potential legal problems would be considered. Headlines would be...
