Judge overturns life sentences for D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo
A federal judge on Friday tossed out life prison terms for one of two men convicted in a deadly Washington, D.C. area shooting spree, saying he must be re-sentenced in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the Washington Post reported.
Lee Boyd Malvo, 32, was one of two men found guilty in the series of sniper shootings in the fall of 2002 that killed 10 people, wounded three others and left residents of Washington, D.C. suburbs traumatized.
His co-defendant, John Allen Muhammad, was sentenced to death and executed in 2009.
Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
