Convicted Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection November 10, a Virginia corrections official said Tuesday. Muhammad was offered a choice in method of execution, and he declined. Under the code, if the inmate declines to choose, it defaults to lethal injection. His attorneys are asking Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine to spare his life.
Attorneys for convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad said their client is mentally ill and they have asked Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine to spare his life.
Thirteen people were shot, 10 fatally, when Muhammad and accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, went on a random shooting rampage around the Washington region in 2002.
Muhammad’s lawyers said in a statement they asked Kaine on Thursday to commute Muhammad’s sentence to life in prison. They said Muhammad’s illness is “illustrated by brain damage, brain dysfunction, neurological deficits as well as his psychotic and delusional behavior.”
The defense team said Muhammad’s mental illness was exacerbated by his military service in the first Iraq war. They presented Kaine with audio interviews of attorneys, mental health experts and a witness.

What took so long?
Well now that is rich, you have an individual terrorizing up and down the beltway of Washington killing people. Innocent people!!!! Now he is getting ready to die and his Lawyers are trying to get his sentence commuted to life in prison. What’s next time served. Well in my opinion the Gov. Kaine should have a drink and when his secretary brings him that paperwork he should take a match to it and say see ya wouldn’t want to be ya. This PUNK needs to die if for nothing else so that in the event he were to escape the public would not have to worry about him killing someone else. I find it funny that his lawyers can come up with all the disfuctions that he had and it was exacerbated by his military service. Well that sounds like another one of those excuses and yes I said excuses. Just get it over and done with and make the U.S.A. a little safer. No more talk JUST DO IT!!!!!
The man should not be spared! The tax payers should be spared the burden of another life sentence. He was merciless! He should die!
I think he should suffer the same pain and indignaty as the people he slautered. His body should be hung in the center of town so it will send a message to any one else that has this type of mind set.
