AG Curtis Hill leads 15 states supporting Virginia’s sentencing of D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo

June 22, 2019

"Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill is supporting Virginia’s sentencing of D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo. In 2002, Lee Boyd Malvo and a co-conspirator unleashed a wave of terror in the Washington D.C. area — killing 10 people and wounding multiple others in sniper attacks. Malvo, who was 17 at the time he perpetrated these killings, was sentenced by a jury in 2004 to life without parole....

Malvo’s case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. In support of Virginia’s defense of Malvo’s original sentence, Attorney General Curtis Hill has filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of Indiana and 14 other states explaining that the Supreme Court’s Eighth Amendment decisions do not require state sentencing bodies to use the magic words “permanent incorrigibility” when sentencing juveniles to life without parole."

Justices' DC Sniper Case Examines Teen Murderers' Sentences

September 24, 2019

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Lee Boyd Malvo, who terrorized the Washington region in 2002 as one-half of a sniper team, is at the center of a case the Supreme Court will hear this fall. But the justices’ eventual ruling probably will mean less for him than for a dozen other inmates who, like the now-34-year-old Malvo, were sentenced to life without parole for murders they committed as teens....

Regardless of the case’s outcome, Malvo isn’t leaving prison anytime soon. He’s serving four life-without-parole sentences in Virginia. He was sentenced to another six life life-without-parole terms for shootings in Maryland. But an appeals court ruled last year that Malvo should be resentenced in Virginia, the decision the Supreme Court will review....

The case is Mathena v. Malvo, 18-217 ."

Malvo, who is serving life without parole in a Virginia prison, is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to order that he be re-sentenced in light of the court's 2012 decision prohibiting mandatory life sentences for juveniles. Malvo was 17 years old at the time of the rampage, orchestrated with co-conspirator John Allen Muhammad, that killed 10 and wounded three others.

I just saw a notice that an 8-part series, I, Sniper, will be premiering on Vice channel tomorrow, May 10th at 10:00 p.m. (presumably EST).

I've long been curious about some crimes that were committed in California within the time-frame of their Washington state to back East road trip, and if they were responsible.

High court could determine DC sniper's fate

Almost 20 years after convicted DC sniper Lee Boyd Malvo terrorized Maryland and Virginia in a killing spree that left 10 people dead, Malvo is eligible for parole.

Virginia law no longer allows juvenile's to serve life sentences without parole. Malvo was 17 at the time of the killings. His co-defendant, John Allen Muhammad, was executed seven years after the killing spree.

Malvo is currently serving four life sentences in Virginia and, if paroled, will begin serving six consecutive life sentences in Maryland.

Maryland's Court of Appeals has agreed to examine Malvo's case and will hear arguments in January.

D.C. sniper seeks new sentence based on 2012 Supreme Court decision

Maryland’s highest court heard arguments Tuesday on whether Washington, D.C., sniper Lee Boyd Malvo’s six life sentences without possibility of parole should be reconsidered because of a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision barring mandatory life sentences for juveniles.

Thanks for the update. I personally hope he never gets out.

 

[Elley Mae]

Thanks for the update. I personally hope he never gets out.

As a resident of Maryland I totally agree.
It was not a fun time when this happened, not knowing who was next and being led to believe it was probably a white van. Think about the number of white vans on the road.

As far as I’m concerned he doesn’t deserve a new trial.

I hope he doesn’t escape this time, he was found in ductwork after being placed in interrogation room after arrest.
