Relatives, friends and former teachers of sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo described him Tuesday as an obedient, inquisitive and cheerful boy, but said he sometimes appeared emotionally vulnerable. He was dependable and hardworking, and whenever he was given a task he would pursue it to the end, said Beryl Spence Jack, Malvo s sixth-grade teacher in Jamaica.Witnesses testified that Malvo attended a number of different schools around the Caribbean while his mother looked for work, and lived with a string of people who were willing to take him in. Malvo s lawyers have argued that his childhood of abandonment and uprooting, as well as a Jamaican culture that emphasized discipline and obedience, made him especially stanley cup susceptible to the influence of sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad.They do not dispute that he took part in the sniper attacks, but argue he should be found innocent of murder because Muhammad s indoctrination made him legally insane. Malvo could face the death penalty if convicted in the Oct. 14, 2002, killing of Linda Franklin outside a Home Depot. Muhammad was tried separately, an stanley mugs d his jury recomme stanley quencher nded Monday that he be put to death. Malvo s uncle, John Benjamin Lawrence, recalled him as a 9-year-old boy who constantly asked questions.Lawrence s wife, Marie, called Malvo very obedient, but said she whipped him with a strap on rare occasions to discipline him. He tried to obey, because I don t joke, Lawrence said.On Fomi A Visit To The Mall, Then Gunshots
