Just a casual observation for discussion. Sort of was on the back of my mind - it crossed my mind as I was paging through Corsi's new book "The Obama Nation" (which Barnes & Noble book store hid the one copy in the back of the store). Corsi makes reference to the Million Man March. I did not find any reference to the D.C. snipers while paging through it. But I was sort of thinking back to those days. Remember the Washington, “D.C. snipers”, and the horrific days of terror that left 10 people dead at the hands of James...

McLean, Va. (AP) -- Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad has changed his mind again and now wants to go forward with a federal appeal of his conviction and death sentence, according to his lawyers. In a handwritten letter from death row made public this week, Muhammad told the Virginia attorney general that he wanted to suspend all appeals on his 2003 death sentence and that appeals filed on his behalf were not authorized. But Muhammad's lawyer, James Connell, wrote a letter Thursday to a U.S. District judge saying Muhammad now wants to go forward with his appeal. "Mr. Muhammad expressly...

Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad asks prosecutors in a letter for help to put an end to his legal appeals from death row. Muhammad says in the letter released Tuesday that he is waiving all rights to appeal his 2003 conviction and death sentence for the sniper killings in 2002 that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region. Muhammad says he has tried without success to stop efforts by his defense lawyers,

Mildred Muhammad claims that she was a victim of domestic violence and that John Muhammad had planned an elaborate scheme to kill her, making it appear random by killing others at the same time.

Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad was regularly whipped with hose pipes and electrical cords and beaten with hammers and sticks by family members during a brutal childhood, according to lawyers trying to save Muhammad from the death penalty. The lawyers argued in a federal court petition filed this week that the jurors who sent Muhammad to death row for the 2002 sniper spree were improperly barred from hearing most of the evidence of the harsh life Muhammad faced as a child. Muhammad and his teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo , were convicted in 2003 of a random killing spree that...

Lawyers Argue Muhammad Had Mitigating Factors Jurors might not have sentenced convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad to death if they had known that he was abused as a child, that he has brain damage and that there were conflicting witness accounts to some of the shootings, Muhammad's appeals lawyers argued in court papers this week.

The 'Lone Wolf' Theory and John Allen Muhammad The Islamist website www.ek-ls.org, hosted by NOC4Hosts Inc., Tampa, FL, USA, published, on November 19, 2007, a proposal by regular forum participant "Jihadi Salafi" on Al-Qaeda's possible use of a "lone wolf" operative in the U.S. and/or the West.

Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad does not deserve a new trial in Maryland, a state appeals court ruled Monday in a sharply worded unanimous decision that compared Muhammad to Jack the Ripper. The state Court of Special Appeals said Muhammad terrorized the Washington region in a rampage similar to that of the notorious Victorian serial killer who murdered at least five East London prostitutes in 1888. But the three-judge panel noted one distinction: "Jack the Ripper has never yet been brought to justice. The Beltway snipers have been." Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were convicted last year on six counts...

Hopefully moderators will let this stand. You won't find it at any MSM source. Heartbreaking video! Kellie Adams, a victim of the DC Snipers, tearfully speaks out about a broadcast of John Allen Muhammad by CNN where he tries to rally support and convince people he isn't a monster. She wonders why CNN gives air time to such un-newsworthy, and white-washed garbage, when no one talks to victims families and victims anymore to see what they are going through five years later. I'm not sure exactly what broadcast Kellie is speaking of, but perhaps it was this one hour white-wash...

(AP) — Cheryll Witz was in the Costco store in Tucson, Ariz., shopping for a birthday cake when her cell phone rang. Waiting to speak to her was one of the nation's most notorious serial killers — the man who five years earlier had killed her father. "I need to apologize for what I've done to you and your family," Lee Boyd Malvo told her during the Sept. 20 call. Miss Witz stood, stunned, in the shopping aisle. "I was standing in the Costco bawling my eyes out," she said. In March 2002, Malvo fatally shot Miss Witz's father, Jerry...

McLEAN, Va. — Cheryll Witz was in the Costco in Tucson, Ariz., shopping for a birthday cake when her cell phone rang. Waiting to speak to her was one of the nation's most notorious serial killers — the man who five years ago had killed her father.

HONOLULU - The former Maryland police chief who headed the Washington-area sniper manhunt three years ago graduated as one of 40 new Honolulu police recruits. Charles Moose, 53, will hit the streets for patrol duty tomorrow morning alongside a police veteran. He graduated from the academy on Thursday. "It's been a long time since I've worked the street ... but it's exactly what I want to do over the next several years," he said. Moose led the task force that investigated the three-week shooting spree that left 10 people dead and terrorized the Washington area in 2002. John Muhammad and...

One of the Washington D.C. snipers confessed to killing a man on a Southeast Side golf course four years ago, Tucson police said Friday. The confession from Lee Boyd Malvo on Thursday brings a sense of closure to Jerry Taylor's family, who for many years have believed that Malvo and fellow sniper John Allen Muhammad were behind the slaying on March 19, 2002. Taylor's daughter, Cheryll Witz, said she was ready to forgive Malvo for his crime. "I really do need to forgive him and I do believe he was brainwashed" by Muhammad, Witz said Friday. For several years, Tucson...

Alexandria, Va. (AP) - Virginia State Police are trying to figure out who shot at a dump truck Tuesday morning that was heading north on Interstate-395 near Edsall Road in Alexandria. The bullet shattered the passenger window of the truck and the glass hit the 60-year-old driver's right arm. Police say it happened around 7 a.m. Police spokesman Sergeant Terry Licklider says they don't believe this was a case of road rage. The truck driver told police he didn't have any altercations on the highway. Investigators believe the bullet may have been fired from a wooded area near the Edsall...

CBS) LOS ANGELES The FBI is investigating a claim by D.C. Sniper Lee Boyd Malvo that he and his accomplice, John Allen Muhammad, shot a man in Los Angeles, a bureau official said Friday. However, neither Laura Eimiller of the FBI's Los Angeles office nor FBI agents in Baltimore who are in charge of the investigation of the pair would comment further, including whether the alleged victim in Los Angeles died. The Washington Post reported Friday that Malvo told law enforcement officials that he and Muhammad were responsible for four shootings across the nation, including two that were fatal, that...

WASHINGTON - Convicted sniper Lee Boyd Malvo told authorities that he and conspirator John Allen Muhammad were responsible for four shootings, two of them fatal, that had not been publicly linked to them, according to a published report. The Washington Post, citing a source familiar with the case, said in a story in Friday's editions the shootings occurred before the three-week spree in October 2002 in which 13 people were shot, 10 fatally, in the Washington area. The Post said a second source confirmed that investigators have received information implicating Malvo and Muhammad in the four other shootings. The sources...

(AP) ROCKVILLE, Md. A Maryland jury has found John Allen Muhammad guilty of six counts of murder for the October 2002 Washington-area sniper shootings. The announcement Tuesday afternoon followed four weeks of prosecutors, experts and witnesses presenting evidence against Muhammad and Muhammad defending himself with the argument that he had been framed. Acting as his own attorney, Muhammad told the jury in his closing argument Friday that he was only in the Washington area during those three terrifying weeks to search for his ex-wife and children. He said government agencies planted evidence and collaborated to pin the crime on him...

ROCKVILLE -- A Montgomery County jury this afternoon found sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad guilty of shooting and killing six people in the county during the 2002 sniper shootings. Muhammad is not eligible for the death penalty in this trial, which is his second. In 2003, a Virginia Beach jury sentenced him to death for planning and coordinating the sniper spree. Authorities said they brought Muhammad to Montgomery County as insurance, in case his first conviction is overturned on appeal, and because the sniper shootings began and ended here. Muhammad, 45, and his convicted accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, shot 13...

Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad was convicted of six more of the killings Tuesday after a trial in which he acted as his own attorney and the prosecution's star witness was his young protege and partner in crime, Lee Boyd Malvo. Muhammad, 45, is already under a death sentence in Virginia for a killing there. The most he can get for the six Maryland slayings is life in prison without parole. The jury took slightly more than four hours to convict him after a four-week trial. The trial marked the first time Malvo testified against the man prosecutors say was...

I am curious why none of the media covers the most important aspect of the Malvo shootings. If you look at Newspapers on the dates when the shootings are underway you discover something I find quite interesting. The shootings begin to dominate the news the day before the debate on the Iraq war starts and they catch them the day after the declaration of war??? If you ask most people "do you remember the debate about starting the second Iraq war", they will all answer "yes of course". But if you followup with the question "name one point in the...

Judge bars sniper from examining detective AP - 2 hours, 9 minutes ago ROCKVILLE, Md. - A judge blocked John Allen Muhammad from presenting some of his defense evidence Thursday in the Washington-area sniper shootings, preventing him from questioning a police detective who Muhammad claims prodded his young accomplice to confess. Muhammad, who is defending himself against murder charges in six Maryland sniper killings in October 2002, called witnesses who saw other suspicious vehicles at shooting scenes. He also introduced a search warrant from a Virginia home where investigators found more than 20 guns and bullets similar to those used...

The sniper's plan: kill six whites a day for 30 days By Harry Mount in New York (Filed: 25/05/2006) One of the two snipers who murdered 10 people in a killing spree that terrorised Washington has revealed their plans to kill hundreds of children, policemen and rescue workers in an attempt to shut down cities across the country. John Allen Muhammad, 45, and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, 21, brought America's capital to a standstill in 2002 as they picked off white targets at petrol stations and shops in the city's prosperous suburbs. Muhammad: ‘a coward’ Malvo testified that Muhammad,...

The former Maryland police chief who led the chase for the Washington, D.C.-area sniper in 2002 may become Honolulu's most well-known rookie cop next month. A police official confirmed Charles Moose, a former police chief in Montgomery County, Md., and Portland, Ore., had signed up for the Honolulu Police Department's Training Academy, which starts May 1. But HPD Maj. Susan Ballard also said that Moose has been having second thoughts. "He's been going back and forth on his decision," she said. Sandy Herman Moose, the former chief's wife, told the Oregonian newspaper in a story yesterday that her husband does...

Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against convicted Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad when he goes on trial in May, the Montgomery County state's attorney said Thursday. Prosecutor Douglas Gansler said late Thursday that "underlying the entire decision was the fact that Muhammad has received a death sentence in Virginia." Muhammad, 45, was sentenced to death after being convicted in a sniper shooting in Manassas, Va. Lee Boyd Malvo, 20, who also is a defendant in the case, was sentenced to life in prison for a shooting in Falls Church, Va. Ten people were killed in the Washington area...

During the Beltway Sniper crisis, back in the fall of 2002, a series of articles in The Washington Times described John Allen Muhammad’s conversion to Islam, and his later break with the Nation of Islam (the articles are no longer available, but extracts have been preserved here). Apparently the NOI was not militant enough for Mr. Muhammad, and he left it to become involved with a group called Jamaat ul-Fuqra (Arabic for “community of the impoverished”), a terrorist organization founded by a notorious Pakistani cleric, Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani. What drew my eye in the article was the mention of...

Rockville, Md. -- A judge allowed corrections officials to forcibly feed convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad while he awaits trial in the county for six October 2002 killings. Muhammad had not eaten anything since being transferred to the Montgomery County, Md., jail on Monday, corrections officials said in court documents filed Thursday. He was apparently upset with the food he was being served and the handling of his legal material. Doctors had concluded that Muhammad, 44, was at risk of serious injury or death of he continued his hunger strike, corrections officials said. Judge James L. Ryan issued an order...

This thread is to highlight the drawings of DC sniper Malvo to "illustrate" the enemy within that is being purposefully suppressed by the MSM- or at the very least, ignored. Despite the depictions of everything from assassination targets on Bush, Blair & Sharon, calls for Jihad, rants about Christian ideology, and war in the name of Allah- the MSM chose to portray the DC snipers as isolated lunatics. Malvo's defense said he was a misguided youth obsessed with "The Matrix", and John Mohammed was a nut who must have been messed up by his military service. Fact is, the cult...

Rockville -- Snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were indicted on murder charges Thursday for six deaths in Maryland during the 2002 killing spree. Muhammad, who was sentenced to death for a sniper killing in Virginia, also could be sentenced to death if convicted of the new charges in Montgomery County.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES Convicted snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo will be tried together in Montgomery County, where their three-week shooting spree began and ended in October 2002. Virginia Gov. Mark Warner announced yesterday that he has agreed with Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. to transfer the two men to Maryland to stand trial on six counts of murder. Ten were killed and three wounded in the Washington-area shootings. "Now that Virginia's prosecution ... has concluded, it is important that families of the victims of the sniper incidents in other jurisdictions have an opportunity to seek justice,"...

Richmond -- Snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo will stand trial next in Maryland, where six of the 10 slayings that terrorized the Washington area in the fall of 2002 took place, Virginia's governor decided Tuesday. Muhammad, 44, and Malvo, 20, will be sent across the Potomac River to stand trial, Gov. Mark R. Warner said. Montgomery County State's Attorney Douglas Gansler said he planned to try both men on the six murder charges the county filed against them a day after their arrest. "These defendants need to be tried under another set of laws and another set...

WASHINGTON - Charles Moose, the former police chief who led the task force to capture the Washington-area snipers, is now serving in the National Guard. His wife, Sandy, said Moose is in San Antonio for the third month of a six-month active duty call-up as a major for the Air National Guard. She told The Washington Post that Moose is on special assignment studying non-lethal weapons. Moose resigned as Montgomery County police chief in 2003 amid criticism from county ethics officials that he was cashing in on his job by writing a book about the 2002 serial sniper case that...

A man pleaded guilty Thursday to buying a rifle for the Washington, D.C.-area snipers - though not the weapon used in the 2002 random shooting spree. Earl L. Dancy Jr., 36, faces a maximum 10 years in prison at sentencing June 24. He pleaded guilty to making a false statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm. Dancy claimed on a federal form that he intended to use the weapon himself, the U.S. attorney's office said. During the November 2003 trial of sniper John Allen Muhammad, Dancy admitted he bought it for Muhammad. Muhammad, 44, and teen accomplice Lee...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Lee Boyd Malvo will not stand trial for a sniper shooting in Manassas, Virginia, according to a prosecutor who said Tuesday's U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning juvenile executions would make a trial pointless. Malvo, who was 17 during a shooting spree that terrorized the Washington, D.C. area in fall 2002, is now serving life sentences for two of the 10 sniper shootings. Prince William County, Virginia, Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert said it "doesn't make sense" to try Malvo for the death of Dean Harold Meyers now that the Supreme Court has ruled that people cannot be executed...

Today: March 01, 2005 at 19:43:10 PST Teen Sniper No Longer Faces Death Penalty By MATTHEW BARAKAT ASSOCIATED PRESS McLEAN, Va. (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruling Tuesday barring the execution of juvenile killers means Lee Boyd Malvo can no longer face the death penalty for his role in the 2002 Washington sniper case or other slayings around the country. Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, has already been convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole for two of the murders. Prosecutors had planned to try him in other jurisdictions in hopes of...

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court's decision to ban the execution of juvenile killers will not have an impact on any future Maryland prosecutions of convicted sniper Lee Boyd Malvo, but will have an impact should he be prosecuted in Louisiana. Maryland law didn't allow for anyone under 18 to be executed before the court's ruling. In Louisiana, the death penalty had been allowed for juveniles. "Now my intent will be to extradite Malvo to Louisiana and give him the maximum sentence allowable under Louisiana law, which is life without the suspense of probation or parole," John Sinquefield, chief assistant district...

RICHMOND, VA. - John Allen Muhammad's lawyers argued before the state Supreme Court on Tuesday that the convicted sniper cannot be sentenced to death under a Virginia law because he did not pull the trigger in the October 2002 killing spree. Muhammad was sentenced to die after being convicted of two counts of capital murder last year in the shooting of Dean Harold Meyers near Manassas. Prosecutors had argued Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo formed a sniper team and were thus equally culpable — even though Malvo said he pulled the trigger. Defense lawyer Peter Greenspun contended that Virginia law...

(CNN) -- Convicted teen sniper Lee Boyd Malvo was sentenced Tuesday to two terms of life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to murder and attempted murder. He was charged with killing Kenneth Bridges, 53, outside a gas station in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and attempting to kill Caroline Seawell at an arts and crafts store, also in Spotsylvania County.

5 minutes ago FAIRFAX, Va. - A judge dismissed an indictment Friday against convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad, ruling that the state waited too long to try him for capital murder in the death of an FBI (news - web sites) analyst who was shot in a store parking lot. Muhammad is already on Virginia's death row for one of the killings in the October 2002 sniper shootings in the Washington area.

Battlefield Conversions to Islam for Pay October 2002 Commentary by Rick Francona John Allen Muhammad, the alleged DC sniper, is a Gulf War veteran and convert to Islam. A little-known byproduct of the Gulf War - Saudi efforts to convert U.S. troops to Islam – may be making unwelcome headlines as this case progresses. During Operations Desert Shield (the defense of Saudi Arabia) in 1990 and Desert Storm (the liberation of Kuwait) in 1991, there was a well-funded and orchestrated effort sponsored by the Saudi government to convert as many American military members as possible to Islam. The primary targets...

Lawyer: Malvo To Drop Appeals, Admit Guilt Attorney Says Teenage Sniper Ready To Accept Life Term POSTED: 5:26 pm EDT September 24, 2004 McLEAN, Va. -- A lawyer for teenage sniper Lee Malvo said he plans to admit guilt in one of the Washington-area sniper slayings. He also said Malvo will drop all of his appeals of his convictions in another of the shootings. Attorney Michael Arif said Malvo realizes "he's not going anywhere" and that he is ready to accept a lifetime in prison. A plea hearing is set for next month. Malvo is charged with capital murder in...

Victims of the sniper shootings in Washington DC and their families have settled a lawsuit they brought against a gun company and a gun dealer. They had sued the two companies for negligent distribution of weapons. Lawyers representing the victims' families described the settlement as historic. They believe it could change practices across the firearms industry. Bull's Eye Shooter Supply, who sold the rifle used in the shootings, agreed to pay the families $2m. Bushmaster Firearms, who made the gun, settled on a half-a-million dollar payout. The deal with Bushmaster is the first time a gun manufacturer in the United...

Sniper Complains to Judge About Underwear By MATTHEW BARAKAT ASSOCIATED PRESS FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad complained to a judge Tuesday that his jailers refuse to let him wear underwear and have restricted his access to his legal files. A sheriff's spokeswoman denied the claims made at the conclusion of a pretrial hearing in the second capital-murder case against Muhammad. Trial is scheduled for October. "How does it make the courtroom safe with me coming in, no T-shirt, no underwear, no socks?" Muhammad asked Judge Jonathan Thacher. Muhammad has been under especially tight security since a...

FAIRFAX — A court hearing for convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad was delayed briefly today after Muhammad wriggled out of a chain strapped around his waist during a recess. Muhammad was placed back into restraints without incident, but for a few minutes he was in the courtroom with a lengthy chain gathered in his hands that could have been used as a weapon. Lt. Tony Shobe, a spokesman for the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office, which handles court security, said deputies did not notice the missing chain when they brought Muhammad from a holding cell back to the courtroom after a...

FAIRFAX -- It looks like convicted sniper John Muhammad will go on trial again.
