Maryland appeals court rules D.C. Sniper Lee Boyd Malvo be resentenced
Twenty years after murder 10 people in Washington D.C., a Maryland appeals court ruled that Lee Boyd Malvo convicted for his role in the shootings should be resentenced. Malvo, who was 17-year-old of the killings, received six consecutive life sentences without parole in Maryland CNN reported. The Maryland Appeals Court says Malvo should be resentenced based on the Supreme Court’s guidance concerning juvenile offenders.
The rulings the High Court made since Malvo’s sentencing, determined life without parole for juvenile offenders is not permitted under the Eighth Amendment “if a sentencing court determines that the offender’s crime was the result of transient immaturity, as opposed to permanent incorrigibility,” Judge Robert McDonald wrote.
Malvo has been serving his life sentence in Red Onion State Prison in Virginia. Malvo partner in the killings, John Allen Muhammad was executed in 2009 in Virginia for his part in the shootings. Malvo is now 37, and is eligible for parole.
Muhammed took the youth under his wing once they met in 2001 when the teen and his mother traveled to Antigua. Malvo spent his high school years between Washington D.C. with Muhammed and Florida, where his mother lived. The teen voluntarily testified against Muhammed in 2006 and pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder.
The Maryland Court of Appeals added that Malvo would most likely never be released in its ruling.
“As a practical matter, this may be an academic question in Mr. Malvo’s case, as he would first have to be granted parole in Virginia before his life sentences in Maryland even begin,” Judge McDonald added.
