DC sniper asks Supreme Court to invalidate juvenile life sentences for murders.
Lee Boyd Malvo, one of the two"D.C. snipers" whose murderous seven-week rampage terrorized the nation's capital region in 2002, wants a chance at getting his life back.
"I was a monster," Malvo told the Washington Post in a 2012 interview from behind bars."If you look up the definition, that's what a monster is. I was a ghoul. I was a thief. I stole people's lives. I did someone else's bidding just because they said so. ... There is no rhyme or reason or sense." The state argues that Malvo was locked up for life at the jury's discretion, given the viciousness of his crimes, and that the U.S. Supreme Court has not explicitly addressed"non-mandatory" life-without-parole punishment for juvenile murderers.
