Robert Holmes, of Tacoma, Wash., will get $350,000 for tipping authorities that his friend John Allen Muhammad might be the shooter. Whitney Donahue, of Greencastle, Pa., will get $150,000 for spotting the snipers' Chevrolet Caprice at a rest stop in Frederick County, Md., where they were arrested. Muhammad was sentenced to death for his part in the sniper spree that killed 10. Accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo got life in prison without parole.
