The Maryland Court of Special Appeals has affirmed the six murder convictions of John Allen Muhammad in a 152 page opinion. The court rejects the contention that “cumulative non-error” by the prosecutor amounts to anything, saying it is the prosecutor’s job to prejudice the defendant–“The ultimate prejudice is the conviction”–so long as the prosecutor operates within the bounds of the law.

The court’s conclusion: ” Jack the Ripper has never yet been brought to justice. The Beltway snipers have been.” (Mike Frisch)
