Why should it be assumed that John Allen Muhammad staged all this to kill his wife, just because she says so. It sounds like an overly elaborate plan. Firstly by killing so many people separately, he actually increased the risk of getting caught. Secondly, all he could hope to do is conceal his motive. Evidence of motive is not proof if guilt and absence of motive is not proof of innocence.
I think it is obvious that he did these killings because of his evil political/religious ideology. His personal grievances towards his wife may have fuelled his overall anger. But that does not mean that killing his wife was his motive.
I have mixed feelings about the death penalty in general. But in this case, I have no qualms or reservations. But some cases are not so clear cut, as I explored in a recent thriller. i suppose my position is that truly evil murderers deserve to be executed, but we have to be sure they are both guilty and truly evil.
