The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider Virginia's plea to reinstate the life-without-parole sentence of a man who as a teenager participated in sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region in 2002. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled last year that while Malvo's life-without-parole sentences were legal when they were imposed, Supreme Court decisions that followed altered sentencing requirements for juvenile offenders. The Supreme Court will review that decision. Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, it is unlikely that Malvo would get out of prison anytime soon. Over three weeks, Muhammad and Malvo shot people as they went about everyday activities.
