Washington sniper mastermind to be sentenced
A judge will decide today whether convicted sniper mastermind John Muhammad should die for his role in the October 2002 killing spree that left 10 people dead in the Washington DC area.
A Virginia jury recommended in November that Muhammad be sentenced to death for the murder of Dean Meyers at a petrol station near Manassas, one of 13 shootings that terrorised the region during a three-week span.
