Authorities say they believe the letter was written by either John Allen Williams, 41 -- also known as John Allen Muhammad -- or John Lee Malvo, 17, a Jamaican citizen, each charged October 25 with six counts of first-degree murder in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Williams and Malvo -- identified as Lee Boyd Malvo on his birth certificate -- were arrested early October 24 while sleeping in a car at a freeway on Interstate 70, several miles west of Frederick, Maryland.
Muhammad and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, then 17, taunted police with written messages, phone threats and demands during the rampage.
During the trial, prosecutors argued Muhammad was the mastermind of the sniper attacks, while accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo fired the fatal shots.
They argued that the judge in neighboring Fairfax County had ordered prosecutors there to turn the document over to attorneys for Muhammad's co-defendant, Lee Boyd Malvo.
The trial of his alleged accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, continues.
The highly anticipated decision came as testimony began in neighboring Chesapeake, Virginia, in the trial of 18-year-old Lee Boyd Malvo, whom authorities say served as Muhammad's accomplice and trigger man.
