FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A

in Lee Malvo with capital

an FBI analyst, saying he
lieves he has sufficient evi
nce to go to trial immediately.
Muhammad and Malvo, who
re been accused in 17 shoot-
is in four states and
ashington, D.C., were charged
murder in the Oct. 14
noting of Linda Franklin in
parking deck of a Home
tpot store. They were also
arged with using a firearm in
commission of a felony.
Fairfax Commonwealth’s
lomey Robert F. Horan Jr.
dhe waited longer than other
osecutors to bring charges
cause he wanted to see the
idence in the case. He said his
cision to act now is “because

Horan said.
He said he will respect
Ashcroft’s decision about who
prosecutes first, but if the attor
ney general defers to the states,
Virginia should go first because it
has a strong death penalty statute.
“We have death penalty
statute that has stood the test of
time,” Horan said.
Horan said that if the case is
sent to Virginia, he’ll meet with
the prosecutors in Prince
William and Spotsylvania coun
ties, where fatal sniper shootings
also took place, to decide who
will prosecute first based on the
best evidence.
Investigations are pending
into several other shootings,
including one in Arizona.

The Washington Post report
ed Wednesday that law enforce
ment sources said a laptop com
puter seized from Muhammad’s
car was stolen Sept. 5 in a rob
bery-shooting outside a pizzeria
in Prince George’s County, Md.
An employee was wounded.
Federal prosecutors earlier
filed charges against
Muhammad under weapons and
extortion laws that could bring
the death penalty. Federal
charges have also apparently
been brought against Malvo, but
authorities will not say so
because he is a juvenile.
Montgomery County, Md.,
State’s Attorney Douglas
Gansler, who filed six murder
charges against the two suspects,
said the ultimate decision rests
with the federal government,
which has the men in custody.
