Authorities in Montgomery, Alabama, have said they intend to seek the death penalty against the two suspects in the Washington sniper killings. John Allen Muhammad, 41, and his stepson John Lee Malvo, 17, were arrested after a string of shootings in the Washington area left 10 people dead and another three critically injured.
If Alabammy won't, then Virginny will. And if they won't Merlin... will think about it. (We have a Kennedy in the family business running for governor...)
Maryland has a moratorium on the death penalty, but Virginia is the state with the second-most executions in the country, after Texas.
Oops. Maybe they should have gone to Vermont or Rhode Island to shoot people out of a hole in their trunk... I'm still disappointed they were taken alive. Couldn't one of them have pulled at least a little rod, so they could have been blown away? |
