Other states may follow persecution Muhammad
Prosecutors in Maryland and Louisiana want a crack in the Master Mind-Sniper John Allen Muhammad (search), even if it has already sentenced to death in Virginia, which raises questions of whether the pursuit of justice everywhere in value is the price.
Prosecutors say that convictions in a court as the higher the level of insurance against Wertaufholungen remedies and that attempts to give comfort to the victims and their families.
Victim “urgently want to have their day in court,” said Montgomery County State’s Attorney Douglas Gansler, aims to try Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo (Research) of murder charges in Maryland, and for the death penalty for Mohammed . Malvo, are exempt from the death penalty in Maryland, 17 because he was at the time of the crime.
But others, some of whom are victims of Muhammad, telling the court was once and for all of its Nov 17 of the murder of Dean H. Meyers (Research) and the recommendation of the jury Monday that Muhammad be executed for the crime.
It would be nice to hear he was convicted of killing Lori’s, too, but to hear it condemned and sentenced to death may be, “said Marion Lewis, father of victim Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera ( search), was gunned down in a service station in Maryland six days before Meyers’ killing.
Lewis Rivera was among six people, including the killing in Montgomery County were ballistic and other evidence to Muhammad and Malvo, according to police. The two suspects were also killed in September in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia and the District of Columbia, and in seven other murders.
The Venue for the next attempt to Muhammad, if any, will not be decided only after his conviction, Feb. 12, said Kevin Hall, a spokesman for Virginia Mark R. Warner Dir. Once convicted, Muhammad is a station of the state, including the governor of Virginia authority over his place of residence.
Malvo is before the courts in Chesapeake, Virginia, in the killing of FBI analyst Linda Franklin.
The cost to the taxpayer of a major murder cases can be high. Muhammad and Malvo, the public defender racked nearly $ 900000 taxes and fees before their studies. The combination of legal costs in the trial against the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in 1997, a total of $ 96 million, according to state records.
“It would be very costly, it would be difficult with emotion on witnesses and the logistics could nightmarish,” said Douglas Colbert, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Law.
Gansler would not speculate at the expense of the tent of one of the accused snipers, but declared a success in terms of death penalty, saving taxpayers’ money which in the long-term costs responsibility - and gives victims a sense of community and facilitation.
“A part of a criminal proceeding, part of the criminal proceedings, is the healing of the community - not only for victims of crimes, but in this case, the whole municipality was to some extent, victims of that event” Gansler said.
Other officials are divided on this issue.
Dir Robert Ehrlich voiced Tuesday attempted to take charge of Muhammad in Maryland for what he sees as “clearly a case of domestic terrorism
