DC sniper asks Supreme Court to invalidate juvenile life sentences for murders.

Lee Boyd Malvo, one of the two"D.C. snipers" whose murderous seven-week rampage terrorized the nation's capital region in 2002, wants a chance at getting his life back.

"I was a monster," Malvo told the Washington Post in a 2012 interview from behind bars."If you look up the definition, that's what a monster is. I was a ghoul. I was a thief. I stole people's lives. I did someone else's bidding just because they said so. ... There is no rhyme or reason or sense." The state argues that Malvo was locked up for life at the jury's discretion, given the viciousness of his crimes, and that the U.S. Supreme Court has not explicitly addressed"non-mandatory" life-without-parole punishment for juvenile murderers.

I forgive him 🙏🏽 I hope he’s released if AmberGuyger can get forgiveness so can this guy. Lee Boyd Malvo needs forgiveness and hugs.

Nope.

Yeah no.

Yeah, NO. Stay in there!!

Nope

Put them to death instead

Ah no. He needs to stay in jail forever. Never thought he was a juvenile in the first place. We have no idea how old he is and never did. The real juvenile he shot on his way to school in PG is definitely still dealing with that attack.

Yeah... another Bullshit artist trying to get fame no matter what..!!

I still remember the stated motivation for the killings: 'We wanted to kill some white people.'

Invalidate their life sentences by putting them to death instead

Umm nah.
