John Muhammed is to be put to death today! The State of Virginia to blame for illegal execution? I say kill him, but give him a fair trial first!

For three terrifying weeks America shuddered in fear while an unknown assailant made his way across the country with a .223 caliber sniper riffle. It took a long time for us all to figure out an under aged minion by the name of Lee Boyd Malvo , was doing the deeds of a cowardly , John Allen Muhammad, dubbed the D.C. Sniper.

John Muhammad trained Malvo to use the weapon with great accuracy. Then Muhammad sent Malvo to Isa Nichols house , to kill her. Malvo, not knowing Isa Nichols killed her 21 year old niece Keenya Cook, instead.

Originally a family friend, John Allen Muhammad was the mastermind behind the Feb. 16, 2002 killing, and John Lee Malvo was the gunman.

"John had sent him up to my door to shoot me but because he did not know me, he shot Keenya," Nichols said of the now infamous D.C. snipers.

This plot came because, Nichols had helped Muhammad's wife seek shelter and child custody when they were separating. This became the start of the entire ordeal.

Prior to being the infamous "D.C. Sniper" ,John Muhammed worked on county property as an independent contractor. He changed oil in Sheriff cars, in the Western Washington. He lived in Tacoma, Washington. The same area that brought you the green river killer, Gary Ridgeway.

Before John Allen Muhammad went to trial for orchestrating the deadly sniper rampage that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region, he claimed he was a prophet and that his teenage accomplice had concocted an herbal AIDS cure.

After shooting 13 people in 2002, Muhammad is facing death today (11/10/2009). While his counterpart , Lee Boyd Malvo, will spend the rest of his life in prison. Malvo traded testimony for immunity in the cases he spoke about.

Muhammad was using a beat up Chevrolet Caprice as a shelter while the entire nation looked for a white work van that was coincidentally seen on site of one of the early shootings. After shooting their first victim they headed across the country and started picking on the unsuspecting victims. After the first two shootings, the duo left a couple of days between shootings. Then a couple more days. Finally reaching five days between shootings. It seemed that every time we raised our heads believing we were secure, we would have another shooting.

People started training their children to duck for cover, in hopes to avoid injury. Finally, after being caught, a huge drama unfolded. A mere child was shooting other children. People pumping gas, sitting on benches, playing golf, and getting off buses. Nobody was safe.

In Muhammed's trial, he attempted to defend himself. He refused to be seen by a state psychologist although it was pertinent to his case. In order for him to use the testimony of his own defense psychologist, the state had to be able to counter the professional testimony.

Muhammed had family members willing to testify to his horrendous childhood beatings inflicted by his family. Muhammed's defense team attempted to appeal his case based on the childhood abuse testimony being left out, the Pro se defense that John had performed with no avail, and medical evidence proving his brain cat-scanned with the likeness of a schizophrenic individual.

I am with the rest of the world that this sick son of a bitch should die. I feel one hundred percent sure that he deserves what he has coming to him. What I really want to know , when my elected officials put him to death; is that he had a fair and competent trial.

Knowing that in just two days he was removed from his own defense team; forced to accept legal council, it is obvious to me that his original defense team was incompetent. On just that fact alone , the man deserves a new trial. This is without mentioning his belief that he was a prophet.

How the hell was he allowed to represent himself with that statement alone?

How did the courts allow Muhammed not to enter his childhood abuse or his current mental state into the record? ( Even if it is the law that they must be able to argue the evidence)

Or how about the actual medical evidence that claims his actual brain is defective?

Could the state not just observe Muhammed's actions over the years, bith in jail and in court, to make a judgement call?

Could they not take the testimony of the family members, or other co-workers and such?

I am glad I am not a part of the court system that did this job. The quality of this case is the equivalent of Catching a drunk driver, with a BAC of 1.6, only to find out the cop pulled him over for a seat belt. Then you find out that the week this happened was a day before it was legal to make a traffic stop based on a seat belt. Back when it was a secondary offense; If the officer admitted to stopping a car for the seat belt, any evidence gathered after that point was part of an illegal search and seizure.

So here we sit with an eye witness, a smoking gun, and soon to be a rotting corpse. All of which should be useless because he had not a full, fair trial. I do not think life should be taken that easily. Not by the crooks, and sure as hell, not by the cops.

By shear definition,Capital punishment by itself is still pre-meditated murder. It is simple justified murder. My only argument is that in the event "We the people" kill someone, we need to know for sure that someone had every equal right and opportunity to prevent their death. Right down to the second they take their last breath,"WE THE PEOPLE" need to be absolutely perfect in our actions.

So when you sit around, after the death of this pig; Make sure when you say "WE", that you have a mouse in your pocket; Because right here , right now,I am stepping away from killing this retard.

I may want him dead just as much as the next guy. I really just don't want to feel like I get relief in knowing the state did it instead of me. I would rather feel completely justified, so I do not feel the need in "Relief of my conscience"
