D.C. Sniper Offers No Words to Witnesses Before He’s Put to Death
Wed, November 11, 2009
JARRATT, Va. — Relatives of the victims of the sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area say they would have liked to hear John Allen Muhammad voice some remorse before he was executed last night.
Others, meanwhile, say they're glad he's gone and won't hurt more people.
Muhammad died last night at a prison near Richmond. He offered no final statement.
Bob Meyers, whose brother was fatally shot at a Virginia gas station, was among the witnesses. He says he would have liked Muhammad to take some responsibility for his actions.
Nelson Rivera, whose wife was gunned down at a Maryland gas station, says he "can breathe better."
Sonia Hollingsworth-Wills, whose son was the last man killed, remained in a car outside the prison as Muhammad was put to death. She says she'll never get complete closure, but she can now put this behind her.
