Death penalty sought in teenage sniper suspect case
Prosecutors seeking a death penalty case against 17-year-old sniper suspect John Lee Malvo said fingerprints on the murder weapon and other evidence linked him to three of the killings and a fourth attack that critically wounded a man.
Prosecutor Robert Horan Jr also said Malvo tried to extort more than $10m (€9.4 m) from authorities in exchange for stopping last autumn’s attacks, making his demands through a pair of notes and two phone calls.
