Alabama is vying to be next to try and kill now-convicted sniper John Lee Malvo.
In a letter to Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, Montgomery County District Attorney Ellen Brooks said Alabama has a strong case against Malvo, a tested death penalty law and should be one of the next jurisdictions to try him.
Brooks, who earlier sent a similar letter saying she wanted to try Muhammad, said as soon as Malvo's Virginia trial ended she began efforts to let Virginia authorities know "we were willing and able to prosecute Malvo. I wanted to make sure the governor and attorney general and anyone else were aware of the abilities of our office, our laws and strength of our evidence," Brooks said.
A trophy killing. What a waste of state resources.
