CNN Reports the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from the younger of the two suspects in the shootings 2002 that left ten people dead.
One of those deaths occurred in Montgomery, before the pair moved on to D.C. where most of the sniper killings happened.
That Alabama death was at The ABC Store on Zelda Road. A clerk was killed and a second clerk seriously injured. It wasn't until months later that a connection was made between the ABC Store shooting and the ones in D.C.
Fifty-two-year-old Claudine Parker was killed and and 24-year-old Kellie Adams seriously injured.
Lee Boyd Malvo and John Allen Muhammad carried out the killings near D.C., firing through an opening in the trunk of a car. Muhammad was executed in Virginia....the much younger Malvo was sentenced to life without parole.
He is appealing that sentence, saying he was only 17 at the time, and subsequent Federal Court rulings have found it unconstitutional to sentence people that young to life without parole. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case.
