Jury in sniper trial hears tapes

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The jury in the capital murder trial of Lee Boyd Malvo Friday heard tapes in which the teenage sniper suspect was heard bragging about his crime spree.

In the tape recordings, Malvo sounded confident and bragged to police about his shooting skills, the Washington Post reported.

Malvo also talked about how he and his alleged accomplice planned to instill so much chaos in the Washington region that the government would be forced to declare martial law to stop the homicides.

The four tape recordings are of Malvo's interrogation by Fairfax County homicide detective June Boyle and FBI agent Brad Garrett.

In the secretly-taped conversations, the two persuaded Malvo to describe how he picked targets, locations for shootings and his reaction to the shootings.

When asked if he ever felt bad about killing anyone, Malvo quickly replied, "No."

He described how he and John Allen Muhammad, his alleged accomplice, worked as a team, one as the spotter and one as the shooter. He said they used walkie talkies to communicate with each other when they were looking for targets.
