VIRGINIA BEACH, Nov. 17 — Jurors reached guilty verdicts on all four charges Monday morning in the capital murder trial of accused sniper John Allen Muhammad after approximately 6½ hours of deliberations.

It took the jury just over 6.5 hours to come to that conclusion.  The jury now decides John Mohammad’s fate.  Mohammad and Malvo terrorized the DC Metro Area for weeks last year.  One of the shootings took place about a block from where I work.  We pumped our gas in fear of being the next victim.  We were afraid to leave our homes.  Some of us died doing our everyday chores.

It looks like Malvo’s defense is going to focus on saving him from the death penalty rather than trying to set him free.  Mohammad may not be so lucky.
