Jury recommends death penalty for Wash. sniper

This ******* got what was coming to him.

Jurors recommend death for Muhammad

Quote:
VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (CNN) -- Jurors on Monday recommended John Allen Muhammad be sentenced to death for orchestrating last year's sniper shootings in the Washington area.

The seven-woman, five-man panel recommended death for two of the four counts Muhammad was convicted of last week in last year's shooting death of Dean Harold Meyers: terrorism and capital murder.

Quote:
Judge LeRoy Millette set a formal sentencing date of February 12. Under Virginia law, Millette has the final word and can reduce the jury's recommended sentence, but it is rare for a judge to do so. The Virginia Supreme Court would automatically review death sentence.
