Malvo Jury Reaches a Decision - Death or Life?
2003-12-23
The jury that convicted Lee Boyd Malvo of murder in the Washington-area sniper case reached a decision Tuesday on whether he should get the death penalty. The decision was to be announced late in the afternoon. The jury was asked to decide whether the 18-year-old Malvo should be executed or sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Was supposed to be at 4PM EST, delayed while juror fills out paperwork, standby......

#7  In most cases I am against the death penalty becuase it gives the slime an easy out, gives them a big spotlight which they crave and gives them an known end while the family of the victim suffers forever.

#6  We should reinstitue life at hard labour with out parole. If convicts want to lift weights let them lift a 10 lb maul all day long. We still have a shortage of gravel in this country. The main problem I have with the Death Penalty is the possibility of error. Of course the idea of an island where we can just drop people like this off and let them fend for them,selves has a certain atraction too.

#5  I certainly hope he gets in front of a camera wearing a burnoose and starts spouting his OBL bullshit. Force the media to acknowledge that they were only acting like good jihadis.

#4  He's too easily manipulated by others. I move that we give him solitary for the duration. Just for his own protection.

#2  IIRC - Lee-boy shot blacks, whites, women, children... Life in prison gets him off death row and in the general population.....his life will be short, unpleasant and a violent end at the hands of other prisoners...

I'm OK with that.

#1  It's life, dammit! Oh, well, there's other states standing in line to try this a-hole for murder.
