If he ever is executed, it'll probably be 20 years down the road. But at the rate we're going, the death penalty will be abolished and he'll be doing a show on NPR.
Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad is asking prosecutors in a letter to help him end legal appeals of his conviction and death sentence "so that you can murder this innocent black man."
In a two-page letter obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Muhammad said he has tried without success to stop his defense attorneys from pursuing the appeals, and that he was counting on the state attorney general to assist him.
Muhammad told the the prosecutors' office that he is waiving all rights to appeal his 2003 conviction and death sentence for the sniper killings in 2002 that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region.
"I've written to you all because I know you will make sure this letter will get to the right people — so that you can murder this innocent black man," Muhammad wrote in the letter, dated April 23.
In the letter, Muhammad writes in the margin, "Muhammad innocent and on death row."
