Second jury convicts sniper for shooting spree

WASHINGTON sniper John Allen Muhammad was convicted of six more of the killings yesterday after a trial in which he acted as his own attorney and the prosecution’s star witness was his young protege and partner in crime.

Muhammad, 45, is already facing a death sentence in Virginia for a killing there. The most he can get for the six Maryland slayings is life in prison without parole.

The jury took slightly more than four hours to convict him after a four-week trial.
