I heard on NPR this morning that Maryland is only seeking life in prison, since VA already has him under death sentence. The rationale: Much, much cheaper.

Now hopefully he can be executed (or life) on one of the 6 death sentences before the appeals on all 6 start wasting an incredible amount of money, for all 6, separately. I support no stay of execution just because one (or more) of the cases is under appeal. Waste of money, lawyers get paid.

Sorry, I was living in the area when the terror began (not terrorism implying an organized group, terror). He is a thug, and even if one of 6 gets overturned, he is still a thug.

We have deaths, no, random MURDERS, in multiple jurisdictions, MD, DC, VA. The overlap in prosecution is to ensure this scum does not escape. And we need to punish in order to deter others from doing similar illogical actions.
