VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Reuters) - Defense lawyers for Washington-area sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad rested their case on Wednesday, taking less than three hours to counter three weeks of evidence and more than 130 witnesses put forward by prosecutors. Defense attorneys Peter Greenspun and Jonathan Shapiro offered just five witnesses in the capital-murder case against Muhammad, who is accused of leading a 23-day sniper spree last year that spread fear throughout the Washington area.
