Defense psychiatrist cites Malvo malingering and early anti social acts
Defense psychiatrist Neil Blumberg testified that John Malvo’s early statements admitting to killings occurred under Muhammad’s influence and that later denials would be unlikely if he was lying. He noted Malvo’s antisocial conduct began years before meeting Muhammad, including killing stray cats at ages eight or nine. The trial covers the Linda Franklin slaying at a Home Depot parking lot as Muhammad faces death penalty for a broader sniper rampage.
