Two black Americans, John Allen Muhammad, 42, a veteran of the Gulf War in 1991, and his stepson John Lee Malvo, 17, were convicted in 2004 of being the 'Washington sniper', who had been terrorizing America over a period of three weeks. 10 innocent people were killed, and 3 were wounded. Police found damning evidence in the suspect's car - a shotgun used 13 times, a scope and a tripod. It's likely they shot their victims without even leaving the car through an opening in the trunk. Experts unanimously agreed that it was John Allen Muhammad who was the force of the criminal tandem. What were the motives of these men, and was one 'guiltier' than the other? Psychologists suppose that John Allen Muhammad is non-compos mentis, but find it difficult to explain why the stepson acted in the same way
