DC SNIPER TO BE EXECUTED

It was October 2002 and the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) was on lockdown during the three weeks when John Allen Muhammad and his then seventeen-year-old accomplice Lee Malvo terrorized communities with their random murders. Known as the DC Snipers, the two men took 10 lives before being captured. While Malvo is serving four life terms, Muhammad is set to be executed by lethal injection today.
Last week Muhammad made an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court but it doesn’t seem likely that he’ll win a stay of execution. While he sites mental illness as his reason for a stay, his ex-wife and mother of his three children stated that she’s “seen no sign of that” (Times Dispatch).
What do you think? Are you for the death penalty or against? Or is Muhammad a special case?
