Malvo Gets Life in Prison

A Virginia jury decided that serial teen-sniper Lee Boyd Malvo did not meet the threshold number of murders required for the death sentence and decided on life in prison as his punishment. However, given the chances of parole, escape, judicial fiat, and political gamesmanship affecting any "life" sentence, Lee Boyd Malvo may have the opportunity to actually exceed the threshold level of murders necessary for a future jury to determine that he represents a danger to society as long as he is breathing.
