Maryland judge denies DC sniper Malvo's bid for new sentence

Lee Boyd Malvo, who as a teenager participated in the sniper attacks that killed 10 people and terrorized the Washington region, will not get a new sentence in Maryland, a judge said in a ruling released Wednesday.

Malvo's attorneys had challenged his life sentences in Maryland and in Virginia, citing a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional. The latest ruling means he will essentially continue serving a life sentence even though a different judge ruled he is entitled to a new sentencing in Virginia.

"The six consecutive life-without-parole sentences were imposed after a full consideration of Defendant's physical, mental and emotional state," Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Robert Greenberg wrote.

He's just a murderer that was young to start. Stop glorifying him.
