Lee Boyd Malvo

Lee Harvey Oswald is not the only “Lee” who is a famous sniper, Lee Boyd Malvo, a convicted Washington-area killer, is pleading guilty to 2002 shootings that he has been recently linked to. Malvo is planning to plead guilty to six Maryland murders and is said to receive six-life sentences. It has been said that Malvo could plead guilty to the October 3, 2002, shooting of Pascal Charlot in Washington and serve his life term in the federal system. Malvo, 21, is already serving a life prison term in Virginia for his 2003 conviction of murdering FBI analyst Linda Franklin at a Home Depot parking lot in Falls Church, Virginia, in October 2002. He later pleaded guilty to another Virginia sniper shooting. Another Malvo attorney, Timothy Sullivan, said Malvo has accepted responsibility for his part in the shootings and wants to make amends.
Lee Harvey Oswald was convicted of shooting President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Although he did not plead guilty, he was taken into custody by authorities after the shooting. Jack Ruby later shot Lee Harvey Oswald before he could plead innocent or guilty, because of his love and support for the president.
Both men tried to kill innocent victims, one the president of the United States the other six innocent Maryland residents and both were taken into custody unwillingly. Although Lee Harvey Oswald was older and wanted to particularly kill the President, Lee Malvo was only twenty-one years old and now begs for forgiveness from his victims’ families and friends.
