From the Corridor: When I read today's CNN story, about convicted Beltway sniper, John Allen Muhammad, my jagged memory reversed to an earlier novel. The last minutes matrix by lawyers trying to save a convict seem like textbook lines from works of my best writer, John Grisham, in his novel, The Chamber.
Muhammad, 48, is scheduled to be executed November 10 for the murder of Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station in Manassas, Virginia.
In Grisham's tale, Sam Cayhall, a former Klansman and unrepentant racist was executed for a fatal bombing.
In what seems a repetition of events, in Grisham's page roller, we have rookie Adam from Kravitz & Bane fighting a horse's kicks to save his grandfather, Sam.
Also the two convicts had accomplices.
