MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — If Marion Lewis had his way, he’d take Washington, D.C.-area sniper John Allen Muhammad into the Idaho desert and kill him slowly over three days.
“He would be screaming the whole time. That’s why I can’t claim to be a good Christian,” said Lewis, whose 25-year-old daughter was killed in Maryland in the 2002 sniper spree.
But the unemployed construction worker would settle for being present in the Virginia death chamber Nov. 10, when Muhammad is scheduled to die.
Lewis called the news program “Inside Edition” looking for help to pay for a journey he believes will give him closure on his daughter’s murder.
On Thursday, he said the show has agreed to finance a four-day trip to Virginia, in exchange for interviews before and after Muhammad’s execution. Lewis said he’ll return about $900 in donations he received.
