Sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo has lost his phone and visiting privileges in jail for 25 days as punishment for writing to another inmate that a deputy sheriff should be 'fatally injured.' Malvo, 18, is being held at the Fairfax County jail on a capital murder charge in the Oct. 14 shooting of Linda Franklin, 47, outside a Home Depot store. At a brief administrative hearing Wednesday, Malvo was found guilty of threatening a jail employee and writing another inmate a letter. He was sentenced to disciplinary segregation - 15 days for the threat and 10 days for the unauthorized letter, sheriff's Lt. Tyler Corey said. The letter was mailed out of the jail to a phony address and used the other inmate's name as the return addressee so it would be sent back to him, officials have said. Besides losing his visiting and phone privileges, Malvo is being fed only the jail's 'vegetarian loaf,' a mixture of eggs, cheese and vegetables. His mattress is also removed for 16 hours each day. Jail officials had disciplined Malvo last month for writing 'Muhammad' on his cell floor and drawing on his shoes. Malvo and John Allen Muhammad, 42, have been linked to 20 shootings, including 13 deaths, in Virginia, Maryland, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Washington, D.C. Both could face the death penalty if convicted in Virginia. |
