Victims, relatives prepare for sniper execution
By DENA POTTER
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - For those wounded by the D.C. snipers and
for the relatives of those killed, the emotions leading up to the
execution of the mastermind behind the 2002 attacks vary as widely
as those who found themselves in the cross hairs.
Forty-eight-year-old John Allen Muhammad is set to die by
injection in a Virginia prison Nov. 10, seven years after he and
his teenage accomplice terrorized the area in and around the
nation's capital for three weeks.
Some family members can't wait to see Muhammad take his final
breath. Others plan to make the trip to Virginia but never step
foot on prison grounds.
And there are those who plan to spend the night at home with
their families, satisfied that Muhammad is paying for what he's
done.
