Anybody here live in the DC area at that time?

Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the killings, is asking the court to allow him to be resentenced because a pair of Supreme Court cases in recent years held that courts must consider a minor’s age before sentencing him or her to life without parole
quote:
The cases that Malvo is relying on concern mandatory life without parole sentences for minors. The Supreme Court barred such sentences in 2012, in a case called Miller v. Alabama that held that they violated the Eighth Amendment.
Justice Elena Kagan, writing for a 5-4 majority, wrote that sentencers must “take into account how children are different, and how those differences counsel against irrevocably sentencing them to a lifetime in prison.”
Four years later, the top court applied that rule retroactively in Montgomery v. Louisiana.
Given those cases, the federal appeals court based in Richmond said last year that Malvo is entitled to be re-sentenced.

I say give him a shot.

I don't think this falls within the same scope.

Oh this is going to be fun.
Little bastard should have been staked to the ground while the people of DC took shots at him with a 30.06.

I wonder if she feels the same today concerning a child under 18 years old "wanting" to start gender reassignment.
What were the ages in the other cases? I'm not sure how much leeway can be given to someone that is 17 at the time of the crimes as opposed to someone who is 13.

He was involved in dozens of senseless murders of innocent people.
frick him.
He and his Dad held a nation hostage for weeks. Esp. those in that area.
I just wish the cop in Montgomery had caught them before the shooting spree ever started

shite, Malvo is almost 35. Where in the frick does the time go, baws?

He's not getting out no matter what the SC decides on his case. He still has a half dozen other life sentences not being debated. Just a waste of time and money by him and his lawyers.

I’m surprised something like the DC Sniper hasn’t happened since.

Can penalties be increased during a review, because that would be justice.

I don’t think we can go to the death penalty from LWOP, no matter how much he deserves it.

We can't, but if we parade him to enough appeals, maybe sniping will come full circle. Statute of limitations hasn't expired in any other the jurisdictions he murdered in.

Waste of tax payers dollars. Should have just put a bullet in him a long time ago.

You are just not seeing the scope of his work.

Yea, we’ve had something much worse happen that’s still unexplained 2 years later

My girlfriend and a number of my friends lived in Silver Spring, MD and DC during that time, and the stories of how people would walk in zig-zags, or start sprinting in public with a random pattern of ducking, and always sitting on the floors of their homes to be out of view of the windows are nuts.
