(Richmond)- Virginia is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to put a hold on a lower court’s decision that mandated new sentences for Beltway sniper Lee Malvo. Malvo was a teenager during the 2002 murders that killed ten people in Virginia, Maryland and DC. He was given a life without parole sentence. A panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled in June that Malvo must be resentenced because the Supreme Court declared mandatory life sentences without parole for juveniles to be unconstitutional.
