Judge Denies Sniper Suspect Better Jail Treatment
FAIRFAX, Va. — Jailed sniper suspect John Lee Malvo, whose lawyers claim his right to privacy and other rights have been violated by his guards, was denied a request for a court order requiring better treatment.
Juvenile Court Judge Charles Maxfield refused to grant the order Friday. Defense lawyers had claimed that their 17-year-old client's mattress is too thin, he has been denied reading material, his cell lights glare 24 hours a day and he is being denied vegetarian meals.
"This is about the right to human dignity," lawyer Michael Arif told Maxfield....
..."You're going to have to present a lot more evidence" of inhumane treatment, Maxfield said, to merit further intervention.
Prosecutor Robert Horan Jr. called Arif's motion "slightly short of frivolous."
"Jail is not a nice place," Horan said after the hearing. "But it's better than the front seat of a Chevy Caprice." The car served as a home to Malvo and Muhammad, and authorities believe they fired shots from the Caprice during last month's sniper spree.
Arif said after the hearing that his client is being kept in isolation. He said Malvo's cell has a checker table but no checkers, so he uses torn pieces of a business card to play the game against himself.
