Sniper Is Transferred for Second Murder Trial
From Times Wire Reports
Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad, already sentenced to death in Virginia, was transferred to Maryland for his second murder trial in the shootings that terrorized the Washington area in October 2002.
Muhammad was reluctant to have his fingerprints taken or pose for a mug shot when he arrived at the jail, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Darren Popkin said.
Muhammad joins co-defendant Lee Boyd Malvo in the maximum-security section of the Montgomery Correctional Facility in Boyds.
Malvo is serving a life sentence in Virginia.
