Former DC sniper protégé Lee Malvo asks for reduced sentence

MARYLAND — One of the men convicted for involvement in the DC sniper shootings back in 2002 continues to appeal his life sentence. An attorney for Lee Boyd Malvo argued that his six life terms without parole are unconstitutional. They believe the new law in Maryland allowing prisoners convicted as juveniles to seek release once they've served at least 20 years should apply to him. Malvo was 17 when he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with parole. In 2012, the supreme court ruled mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders violate the 8th amendment and are unconstitutional. Malvo has served his sentences in both Maryland and Virgina
