| Teen Sniper Suspect Loses Jail Privileges |
| 2003-03-08 |
| Teenage sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo will be confined to his cell for two days and fed only a vegetarian loaf his attorneys had said made him ill because he used a pen to write ``Muhammad'' on the cell floor and on his shoes. Further confirmation that this young lad isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. It was not immediately clear whether ``Muhammad'' was a reference to fellow sniper suspect, John Allen Muhammad. Might have been a reference to Marvin Muhammad who's in the next cell doing time for a domestic altercation. A hearing officer sentenced Malvo on Friday to two days of segregation, which means he will stay in his cell all day. The 18-year-old also lost 15 days of recreation privileges and was put back on a vegetarian loaf diet. Defense attorney Michael Arif said he told Malvo not to talk during the closed hearing. Arif said he would not appeal the ruling. What's the point? Malvo was cited for defacing state or county property after deputies found ``Muhammad'' scrawled in blue felt tip pen on the floor of his cell and blue pen on his shoes. On Feb. 24, a deputy also reported hearing Malvo say to another inmate, ``I would like to cut her throat,'' and laugh. Fairfax County Sheriff Stan Barry said no charges were filed in that incident. Anybody got the idea that maybe Malvo is a little touched in the head? |

| #2 I think they used to serve us that vegetarian loaf in my high school cafeteria. Now that is cruel and unusual punishment. |
