WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Maryland judge decided that one-time Bellingham High School student Lee Boyd Malvo will not get a new sentence.
State Attorney John McCarthy said the judge rejected arguments that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional.
Malvo was “properly sentenced” to “six consecutive sentences of life without the possibility of parole,” McCarthy said.
Malvo was 17 when he was arrested for participating in the 2002 sniper attacks that left 10 people dead.
John Allen Muhammad, Malvo’s accomplice, was executed for his role in the shootings.
Malvo and Muhammad lived in Whatcom County just prior to the shootings.
