October 2002 heralded a three-week murder spree that would terrorize citizens across the Washington Metropolitan Area. However, the Beltway snipers had already claimed several victims earlier that year, and accumulated a body count that neared 20 before they were apprehended.
ABC - Maryland’s highest court has agreed to take up the case of Lee Boyd Malvo, who is serving life in prison for his role in the 2002 sniper spree that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region. Malvo’s lawyers argue that his punishment goes against a 2012 Supreme Court ruling barring mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders and Malvo should benefit from Maryland's new law enabling prisoners convicted as juveniles to seek release once they've served at least 20 years.
