CHESAPEAKE, Va. (Reuters) - Jurors on Tuesday spared the life of teenage sniper Lee Malvo after deliberating less than nine hours on options that included the death penalty for two counts of capital murder.
Malvo, 18, who the same jury convicted last week of the murder of FBI analyst Linda Franklin, 47, as part of a string of random shootings in and around the U.S. capital last year, sat with one arm resting on the defense table and the other hand covering his mouth as a court official read the sentences.
