Teenage sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo will be confined to his cell for two days and fed only a vegetarian loaf his attorneys had said made him ill because he used a pen to write 'Muhammad' on the cell floor and on his shoes. It was not immediately clear whether 'Muhammad' was a reference to fellow sniper suspect, John Allen Muhammad. A hearing officer sentenced Malvo on Friday to two days of segregation, which means he will stay in his cell all day. The 18-year-old also lost 15 days of recreation privileges and was put back on a vegetarian loaf diet. Defense attorney Michael Arif said he told Malvo not to talk during the closed hearing. Arif said he would not appeal the ruling. Malvo is charged with capital murder in the Oct. 14 shooting of FBI analyst Linda Franklin, 47, outside a Home Depot store. Malvo and Muhammad, 42, are accused in a string of shootings last year that left 13 people dead and others wounded. Muhammad is being tried in neighboring Prince William County for the Oct. 9 shooting of Harold Meyers, 53, outside a gas station. Both men face trial this fall. Malvo was cited for defacing state or county property after deputies found 'Muhammad' scrawled in blue felt tip pen on the floor of his cell and blue pen on his shoes. On Feb. 24, a deputy also reported hearing Malvo say to another inmate, 'I would like to cut her throat,' and laugh. Fairfax County Sheriff Stan Barry said no charges were filed in that incident. |
