Alabama will seek death penalty for Dad 'n' Lad...
2002-10-25
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?

#6  Alabama? Montgomery was sitting on a double shooting and homocide since Sept21. They had an officer eyewitness and a fingerprint and appear to have done nothing with it until the Task Force came calling. And now they want to to be part of the show? They should of had a BOLO out for the shooters before the DC/Maryland/Virginia tragedy started.

#4  Well, they woke them up with stun grenades. I guess that gave them a chance to do something stupid.

#3  This guy wouldn't have gotten far in RI. Some goombah from the Patriarca Family woulda dropped him in the Providence River after the first two or three...

#2  Hmmmm. They were found all too quickly AND seemed remarkably accepting (of being taken into custody). I suspect this guy is taking a fall for someone else. Possibly the same applies to McVeigh. Only we can't question him now, can we?
