MANASSAS, Va. (Reuters) - A judge sentenced John Muhammad to death on Tuesday for one of 10 sniper-style murders that terrorized the Washington area in 2002.
As expected, Judge LeRoy Millette confirmed last November's guilty verdict and death sentence by a jury and brushed aside Muhammad's appeal, which had argued his conviction was based on guesswork and emotion, rather than facts and law.
Millette set Oct. 14 as Muhammad's execution date.
