Lee Boyd Malvo, who is serving a life sentence for his crimes in 2002, is the subject of VICE’s upcoming eight-part docuseries I, Sniper, where he discusses what he and former mentor John Allen Muhammad did, The Daily Beast reported. I, Sniper, which premiered on May 10, had its challenges. Malvo could only be interviewed in 15-minute intervals due restrictions by Red Onion State Prison in Virginia, which meant the production took several years to complete.
