{{As a child, Malvo killed stray cats with a slingshot beginning at age 8 or 9 and continued the anti-social behavior for nearly five years, Neil Blumberg testified at Malvo's capital murder trial.

Malvo also regularly stole comic books and compact discs, said Blumberg, who spent 50 hours with the teenager over 20 interviews.
