The feds are going to charge Muhammadwith extortion
Intervening in the wrangling over where two suspected snipers will be tried, the federal government on Tuesday was expected to file extortion charges against John Allen Muhammad that would subject the 41-year-old former military man to the death penalty, sources told NBC News. Word of the federal charges came after police in Tacoma, Wash., announced that Mohammed and 17-year-old John Lee Malvo are now suspects in a slaying and a synagogue shooting there.
‘Cause, you know, extortion is just so much worse than murder. This is grandstanding of the worst kind. Raise your hand if you think Alabama, Virginia or Maryland were going to go easy on this guy.
Remember, when it came to hunting the guy down, this wasn’t a federal issue. Ahh, but now that there is a chance to appear all stern and severe in front of a camera, Johnny Ashcroft is all over this case.
