death to the death penalty

It took about a month after police arrested two people in the Washington, D.C.-area sniper killings for one of their lawyers to ask the Washington and Lee University Law School professor and his students for help. Groot was at the state Capital Defense Workshop in November when Northern Virginia lawyer Michael Arif approached him. Arif, who represents 17-year-old sniper suspect John Lee Malvo on a capital murder charge in Fairfax County, asked if Groot and his student-staffed Virginia Capital Case Clearinghouse would join the defense team.
