A hate-filled Gulf War vet and his 17 year old protégé. They terrorized the Washington Beltway for three bloody weeks, killing 10 strangers, seemingly at random, irrespective of age or race or gender.

The younger of the DC snipers is now a 27 year old lifer - a prisoner, held in solitary, with no chance of parole - his mentor executed; their victims now 10 years dead.

But, a decade later, the questions remain of how and why.

On this week's edition of Due Process, some answers in Lee Boyd Malvo's own recorded words - and in a startling new book by a forensic social worker who was part of his defense, and a clinical psychologist, who has studied the case. Their claim: that an abandoned and abused Malvo - brainwashed by the manipulative John Muhammad - was himself a psychological, physical and sexual victim.

We revisit the chilling story of the DC snipers with Carmeta Albarus and Dr. Jonathan Mack.

We hope you'll join us.

This Week on Due Process: Let's Make a Deal: The Plea Bargain

A Plea Bargain Entered in Essex County Superior Court         This Week on Due Process "Let's Make a Deal: The Plea Bargain"   airs: Sunday December 9 at 9:30 am and 7 pm and Tuesday December 11 at 11:30 pm on       You're charged with a crime and have the right to face your accusers at trial, to be judged by a jury of your peers. Then why do fewer than 3% of defendants ever get that far?   On this edition of Due Process, we explore the phenomenon of the plea deal, beginning with a look inside Judge Martin Cronin's Essex County courtroom, where, two days a week, one guilty plea after another is entered in return for a reduced sentence. Is it fear? Is it coercion? Why do so few choose to take their chance at trial? And could some of them be innocent?   In the opening field piece, we listen in on a plea bargain conference between the Morris County Prosecutor, Bob Bianchi and his staff, while, in Essex, we watch the plea process unfold and talk to Assignment Judge Patricia Costello.   In the studio, we get starkly opposing views on plea deals from former First Assistant Attorney General for New Jersey John Vazquez and the ACLU's Alex Shalom.   Please join us!   Sandy and Raymond   Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.   Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J.
