John Allen Muhammad was convicted of masterminding the shooting rampage that killed 10 people in the Washington area in 2002. He is to be put to death Tuesday.
Reporting from Washington - The Supreme Court today cleared the way for the execution of Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad.
Scheduled for execution Tuesday evening in Virginia, Muhammad was convicted of masterminding the sniper-shooting rampage that terrorized the Washington area in the fall of 2002. Sixteen people were shot, and 10 of them died.
The justices turned down a final emergency appeal from Muhammad's lawyers claiming that he deserved more time to develop his appeals.
Three justices -- John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor -- added a statement saying they were troubled that Virginia did not give convicts one year to file their federal appeals, as set in federal law.
But they also said that they saw no reason in Muhammad's case to stop the execution.
Beltway Sniper will die tonight...

Re: FN-QR (Dittoz7)
Finally. This was very local for me. It was definitely a scary time. Nobody wanted to get gas. I'm glad to see this guy is finally going to die.

Take a close look at the Justices who are wringing their hands over this guy's "appeal schedule" and ask yourself what their motivation is...
When a case is open/shut like this one, there's no need to waste our time, money and resources.
Load the needle, give his stuff to the needy and toss him in an incenerator... Done.

I believe he gets the needle...Whats in those syringes anyways? It better be full of battery acid, graphite, and pepsi.
Re: FN-QR (jdansmith)
What about that scumbag kid that was with him? He getting death too? I don't wanna hear that brainwashing crap in his defense. I know it's wrong to kill people, I knew that well before I was 17.

"Funny"(nothing is funny about the shootings I know) story about those shootings was, my father is qualified as a sniper for SWAT here, and my mother had just gotten him the exact same rifle that the DC sniper was using for Christmas that year. He was out of town while all of this was going on, and I actually called him to make sure that he hadnt fallen off the deep end or something and gone on a killing spree.
Luckily, it wasn't him

Usually you're dead before you get the death needle when they give you the super strong anesthesia, so it really doesn't matter.ScorchedNX2K wrote:I believe he gets the needle...Whats in those syringes anyways? It better be full of battery acid, graphite, and pepsi.

For some reason I read this as "Brittany Spears will die tonight"
Honestly... not sure what is more f***ed up, that they would make pledges do that, or that frat wannabes would be so desperate that they would be willing.HashiriyaS14 wrote:I remember that when the shooting spree was going on, some UMD fraternity was making their pledges stand blindfolded at night for hours at gas stations.

Re: (Red coupe)
School got closed down for a couple days but it wasn't enjoyable because 10 people died to make it happen. Sniping innocent unarmed/unaware people is very cowardly. Id cut off their eyelids and feed them sleeping pills whilst i roasted his intestine over a spit for him to watch until death took over him. Then throw a party on his unmarked grave. Still wouldn't feel justified.

Re: (Paul Wall)
Long time coming. I understand the process, so I know he didn't die in pain but i would have given anything for him to feel what each one of his victim's felt in their last moments. There better be a hell because this son of a b**** needs to scream for mercy for all eternity.Paul Wall wrote:This just in...He is dead.

Re: (nissangirl74)
Lotsa problems in this thread...
Some justices said he didnt get the mandatory 1 year to appeal?!? He's had 5 years.
Making pledges stand blindfolded in public with a sniper on the loose? No thanks, I already have friends.
This guy getting the death penalty? Yessir! No problem here...
The kid got life, no parole. If he deserved the death penalty, he'll get shanked. If he didnt, he has ages to dwell on his life's fate. Thats fair IMO...
