Friend of sniper pair says Muhammad introduced Malvo as a sniper
A longtime friend testified that John Allen Muhammad tried to make a silencer for the rifle used in the Washington area sniper attacks. He said Muhammad introduced Lee Boyd Malvo to him as a sniper and described a father son dynamic. The shelter director said Muhammad controlled Malvo, supporting prosecutors' view of brainwashing.
