ROCKVILLE, Maryland (AP) -- Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad was convicted of six more of the killings Tuesday after a trial in which he acted as his own attorney and the prosecution's star witness was his young protege and partner in crime, Lee Boyd Malvo.

Muhammad, 45, is already under a death sentence in Virginia for a killing there. The most he can get for the six Maryland slayings is life in prison without parole.

The jury took slightly more than four hours to convict him after a four-week trial.

The trial marked the first time Malvo testified against the man prosecutors say was his mentor and manipulator.

2. I think it is necessary.....

The record needs to reflect the judicial finding for each murdered souls.

3. I suppose I'm being selfish about this...

I just didn't see a need to drag all of that horror out again when he's already on death row. I see your point though.
