CHESAPEAKE, Va. (Reuters) - A jury on Thursday found Lee Malvo, 18, guilty of murdering Linda Franklin, one of 10 people gunned down in a series of sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area last year.
Malvo was 17 when he and his accomplice John Muhammad, 42, roamed the region in an aging automobile, picking off random human targets through a hole cut in the trunk.
Dressed in a light sweater, Malvo sat without apparent reaction as a court official read out guilty verdicts in each of two counts of capital murder, which could mean the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
"We are extremely pleased with the verdict," said Bob Meyers, the brother of another of the pair's victims, Dean Meyers, who was shot on Oct. 9, 2002 at a gas station near Manassas, Virginia.
