Prosecutors delivered their closing arguments yesterday in the case against alleged DC sniper John Allen Muhammad. Prosecutors, who are seeking the death penalty have acknowledged that their case against Muhammad is circumstantial but convincing and lengthy with 150 witnesses over 16 days.

This came on the same day as opening statements in the trial of Muhammed’s alleged co-conspirator–Lee Boyd Malvo. The lead prosecutor told the New York Times “He’s glib. He’s articulate. He’s knowledgeable. He talks about the killing power of the rifle he used and the damage it can cause.”
