Muhammad Trial Jury to Resume Work Monday

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) -- Jurors in the murder trial of sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad began deliberations Friday but went home for the weekend after meeting for about four hours.

The jury sent one question to Prince William Circuit Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr., asking if they could have a tape recorder to review evidence on a 911 tape. Millette granted the request, but a tape player could not be found by the time the jury went home at 1 p.m.

Several 911 phone calls were played during four weeks of testimony, including panicked calls made by victims, their relatives and witnesses just minutes after shootings.

Muhammad is charged with the Oct. 9, 2002, slaying of Dean Harold Meyers in Manassas, but prosecutors chronicled sniper shootings dating back to September 2002 to fit the crime into the two death penalty charges he faces.

Fellow suspect Lee Boyd Malvo, 18, is on trial in nearby Chesapeake for the Oct. 14, 2002, slaying of Linda Franklin. Prosecutors are expected to start their case against Malvo on Monday after a one-day recess Friday.

The jury of seven women and five men in the Muhammad case will resume deliberations Monday morning.

If Muhammad is convicted, the jury will meet again to determine his sentence. Both sniper suspects face the death penalty.

Millette said he hoped the case could be finished in the next two weeks.

"If we could get this thing done by Thanksgiving, I'd appreciate it," he said. "I think the jurors would too."

I could not agree with you more on Muhammad's sentence.
There is no question that Mr. Muhammand deserves to be sentenced to die for the cold-blooded murder of dean meyers. I don't understand what the holdup is with the jury. They convicted him of the most heinous crimes and the laws in Virginia are very clear. I think the jury should at least honor the requests of the families that Mr Muhammand be sentenced to execution.

Personally, I don't believe in life in prison for people like Muhammand and Malvo that commits the most cruel and vile acts of violence to another person. At least when a cold blooded murderers are executed I know for sure they will never hurt nobody else ever again. When they are given life in prison, they could escape from prison and commit their acts all over again or when they get paroled out they can commit their acts again when their parole is granted.

He is a parasite that only gives a damn about himself. He is not loving father like the defense makes him out to be. Mr Muhammad took innocent men and women away from their families I think it makes sense to make him suffer the pain of being electrocuted in Virginia's electric chair.
