Beernuts by Rob Appling Sniper Continued from page 1 believed to be 17, also could face death under state law, but Neely said his sentence would depend on his role in the shootings. Virginia and Alabama, where the pair are charged with killing a woman at a liquor store in September, allow the death penalty for crimes committed at age 17. Malvo would be one year shy of the death penal ty in Maryland. There is no death penalty in the District of Columbia, where one person was killed. Justice Department officials also could bring fed eral charges against the suspects, who are in federal custody, based on a law that allows the government to seek the death penalty for killers who try to extort money. Letters left behind in the sniper slayings demanded $10 million. In Maryland, Montgomery County State’s Attorney Douglas Gansler acknowledged Sunday that the toughest sentence Malvo could get in Maryland, if convicted, would be life without the possibility of parole, but he defended his county’s right to prosecute the suspects. “It’s the epicenter of this investigation and these crimes,” Gansler said on ABC’s “This Week.” “And we feel that that’s where the most appropriate place to prosecute the case. We also have the best evidence.” He said he also expects Maryland's moratorium on executions to be lifted. Kilgore said that he had spoken with White House and Justice Department officials and that the federal government has been cooperative with Virginia. He said that means “no federal charges at least until we’ve filed our indictment and get our process going here in Virginia.” Virginia and Maryland authorities have not had the same working relationship, he said. “We haven’t been able to share a lot of informa tion and receive a lot of information from the Maryland side.” he said. “It’s just not as much coop eration is going on as I believe ought to be going on." Also Sunday, a man being held in Michigan as a witness in the case agreed to be moved to Maryland for questioning. Nathaniel O. Osbourne, 26, co owner of the Chevrolet Caprice used by the sniper suspects, has been cooperating with investigators since his arrest Saturday. Officials say he is not a suspect in the attacks. Maryland’s death penalty law requires that a case meet one of 10 specific circumstances, including if a defendant commits more than one first-degree murder arising out of the same incident. Gansler says the case meets that standard because on Oct. 3 four people were killed in Montgomery County. Virginia has a much broader statute for execu tions, including provisions for killers who commit more than one murder in three years and those with the “intent to intimidate the civilian population.” LSAT Continued from page 1 school, Olivas said. “Just because 100,000 people take the LSAT doesn’t mean there will be 100,000 applica tions sent out. Students can apply to several schools and some may not apply at all,” Olivas said. “The admissions process is an art, not a science.” While the exact number for the October LSAT has not yet been posted, the LSAC Web site shows that for the June test date in 1998-1999, 18,933 people took the LSAT. That number rose to 27,808 for June 2002. Many students are taking prep courses like those offered by the Princeton Review because higher scores are need ed to remain competitive. Senior animal science major Jennifer Jones took the LSAT this month. She said the pres sure students are facing this year when applying to law school is immense. “1 took a Princeton Review course to help me raise my LSAT score,” Jones said. “This year, your LSAT scores need to be higher, your application needs to look better and you have to be at your best to remain competitive.” NEWS IN BRIEF Study says acetaminophen, ibubrofen maj be linked to high blood pressure in worm CHICAGO (AP) — The popular pain relievers ibuprofen and ace- minophen, contained in scores of over-the-counter remedies, increase the risk of high blood pressure, a study in women sugg Skeptics say the link is flimsy and needs confirmation inbf designed studies, and even the Harvard researchers who condu : the study do not recommend that people stop taking the meifc tions. But the authors add that their findings are plausible giw what's known about how the drugs affect the body. The study, in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine, it 80,020 women aged 31 to 50 who participated in a nurses study and had not been diagnosed with high blood pressure outset. They were asked in 1995 about their use of pa in information about high blood pressure was obtained from as two years later. f .ontinned from page! have, but a higher tax," I Cronkite has in lmi J every president since Truman.
