Sniper suspect withdraws move on mental health

SNIPER suspect John Allen Muhammad yesterday withdrew a request that might have allowed him introduce mental health evidence at his trial.

“I’ve changed my mind on that,” Muhammad told Circuit Judge LeRoy F Millette Jr at the beginning of the second day of testimony.

Muhammad, who is representing himself, was barred from presenting any mental health evidence because he refused to meet with prosecutors’ mental health expert. On Monday, he asked Judge Millette to reconsider the ruling.
