Nope. He knew exactly what he was doing.
One of the D.C. snipers Lee Boyd Malvo(17 at the time) had his life sentence overturned. He along with his partner killed 10 people wounded others. Do you agree with the judge?
Having thankfully lived through that little episode of terror I totally disagree with the verdict as well as the original verdict. He should have been tried as an adult and executed. For almost a year afterwards every time I saw a white box truck I looked for a place to duck and cover.
