Nation Sniper accomplice suspect declared legally insane
CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Lee Boyd Malvo was legally insane during last year's sniper spree because of intense indoctrination by sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad, a defense psychistrist Neil Blumberg testified yesterday at Malvo's trial. He examined Malvo 20 times in jail.

concepts and that the winner in a war determines who is right and who is wrong. Muhammad likened the n制剂 attacks to a war against the United States government, which he said oppresses blacks.
Psychiatrist Diane Schetky, who twice interviewed Malvo, also testified that Malvo was unable to tell right from wrong—the legal standard for insanity in Virginia.
Schetky said on cross-examination that she believes Malvo knew right from wrong during a slaying eight months before the sniper spree, which left 10 dead in and around Washington, D.C., in October 2002. Malvo has confessed to killing Keenya Cook in Tacoma, Wash., on Feb. 16, 2002.
Defense mental health experts have said Malvo, 18, was taught by Muhammad that right and wrong are artificial

William Jean Gough's liver is deteriorating because of hepatitis C. The 46-year-old was accepted as a strong candidate for the lifesaving operation in August by Pittsburgh's Thomas E. Starzl Transplant Institute.
In a ruling made public yesterday, Judge Bernadene Kennedy dismissed the state's argument, saying that scientific advances allow people with HIV to live full lives.
In the state Department of Public Welfare, which oversees the state's Medicaid program, however, denied coverage for Gough, saying that infection with the AIDS virus is a life-limiting condition that rules out a transplant.
The judge expedited the case because Gough's condition worsens by the day and he could be ineligible for a transplant if his liver deteriorates too much.
Doctors said the Altoona man could die in nine to 12 months without a transplant. The average wait is six to 12 months.

County officials confirmed that the couple applied for a license last Friday,
and that appears to be the date they tied the knot, in a short, secret ceremony.
An official in the county office told The Associated Press yesterday that documents show the marriage happened but provided no other details, such as the exact date and location.
Publicist Stephen Huvane said his clients refuse to confirm or deny the report.
The Oscar-winning star of Shakespeare in Love has been dating Martin, frontman for the British band Coldplay, for a year. Both have been reticent about discussing their relationship.
This is the first marriage for Paltrow, 31, and Martin, 26.
Paltrow stars as poet Sylvia Plath in the new film Sylvia.
