Sniper trial jurors to decide fate of teenage killer

A US jury was considering today whether Washington sniper Lee Malvo should live or die, after the teenager was convicted of capital murder over the three-week reign of terror.

The jury in Chesapeake, Virginia, rejected claims that Malvo, 18, was brainwashed by John Muhammad, the older man who masterminded the killings, into taking part in the shooting spree that left 10 people dead.
