John Muhammad Sentenced To Death

MANASSAS, Va. (Reuters) - A judge sentenced John Muhammad to death on Tuesday for one of 10 sniper-style murders that terrorized the Washington area in 2002.

As expected, Judge LeRoy Millette confirmed last November's guilty verdict and death sentence by a jury and brushed aside Muhammad's appeal, which had argued his conviction was based on guesswork and emotion, rather than facts and law.

Millette set Oct. 14 as Muhammad's execution date.

The former Gulf War veteran was sentenced by a Virginia Beach jury for killing Dean Meyers, a 53-year-old Maryland man who was shot as he refueled his car in Manassas, Virginia. The trial had been moved to Virginia Beach, some 200 miles away, to avoid a prejudiced jury.

Muhammad accomplice Lee Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the killings, faces his hearing on Wednesday, when a judge will have to decide whether to confirm his sentence of life in prison. Malvo had faced a possible death sentence but the jury recommended life in prison.

Oh, if that were only going to happen that soon. As we know, this will play out for years in appeals and other red tape.

I say stick him in the middle of a parking lot and shoot him with a sniper rifle.

That's to quick. I say put honey in his ears, nose and mouth then bury him in a fire ant hill.

There is something to be said for that. But, I don't think I want to cross that line morally yet.

But the way we are heading it can't be too far away.

He'll get better than he deserves, you can count on that.
