ROCKVILLE, Md. -- During his opening statement, John Allen Muhammad said he'll use "quantum physics, immaterial evidence and material evidence" to prove he's not the Washington-area sniper.
| This will be entertaining in a sad, perverse way. |
Muhammad is acting as his own attorney in his trial in Rockville, Md. He's charged with shooting six people in Montgomery County, where the October 2002 series of killings began and ended.
Muhammad told jurors Thursday that he was a distraught father who had come to the D.C. area to look for his children, who had been placed in the custody of his ex-wife, in a custody dispute.
The 45-year-old defendant spoke in a clear voice, quoting Plato and the Bible. And he repeatedly described his accomplice, 21-year-old Lee Malvo, as his son.
Maybe he used quantum physics to shoot backwards in time? |
