Tsarnaev sentencing verdict is in!

MA doesn't have the death penalty, so Hernandez lives.

So the Feds cherry pick who they want to prosecute, and the States get lumped with the rest?

Such a waste: millions and millions spent on appeals. Ugh.

BTW I agree with someone above: I'll take the over on age 30. So pointless.

Anybody remember this guy?

Some of you, right? Heard much about him lately? Yeah, I didn't think so. He's been rotting away, almost anonymously, in stir for 47 years. That's just the way I like it--I had hoped this kid would get the same fate.

Hmmmmm....

Detonating a weapon of mass destruction in public,

mass murder and maiming including children,

throwing bombs while fleeing authorities and killing a cop,

and probably the biggest terrorism attack on US soil since 911....

Yeah this feels like a 'local' kinda case to me too.

Also, you can legally be prosecuted by two separate sovereigns, e.g. - federal and state prosecutors - for the same crime.

so the feds aren't "cherry picking" anything

The Tsarnaevs' crime was cowardly and abhorrent, and the fact that their victims were there to either run or watch a marathon made it feel like it hit

closer to home than most other acts of terrorism, even from a few thousand

miles away.

I felt emotional when we held a minute of silence before a race shortly afterwards,

and while I sometimes feel uneasy about the level of patriotism that seems to

accompany all sporting events in the US, I fully understand and respect the

way the 2014 Boston Marathon was celebrated, both in commemoration of

the victims, and as a symbol of unity, demonstrating that we will not be

intimidated by terrorists.

However, I'm appalled by the death penalty. And while there is a man on death

row, I really don't think I'll be able to run in the Boston Marathon. For even

while the overwhelming majority of Bostonians oppose executions, to all of my

friends at home, it will look like a tacit endorsement of a barbaric practice.

Sorry, Boston.

So because a jury of his peers voted for capital punishment, you won't run a race in that town? Do you avoid races in other cities where criminals have been sentenced to death? My guess is that is just about every city in the country. Your logic is flawed.

Of course death.

The fix was in on this one big time.

The so called defense attorneys acted as part of the prosecution from day one in this trial.

So many holes in the prosecution's case and the defense team nothing.

Why was no ballistics report proving the gun killed Collier submitted? Surely they performed one on the gun. Surely they would have submitted it if the test showed the gun they claim killed Collier did kill him.

Seeing as how the authorities claimed they originally id'ed the brothers as the bombers via a video shot by the security cam across the street at Lord and Taylor's showing D Tsarnaev placing the second bomb and that turned out to be a lie, why wasn't the government asked how they actually knew it was the tsarnaevs?

And why did the government deny they had any knowledge of the Tsarnaevs and so needed to go to the public to find out who they were? Russia let us know they had indeed warned the FBI about the older brother and the FBI was forced to admit it. The FBI then claimed they talked to him once an dropped it? Is that credible? Is the FBI that incompetent?

Who ever heard of a case where a special death penalty lawyer is brought in and on the first day of the trial says her client is guilty? And on the first day of the penalty phase tells the jury to go ahead and check off yes to the list of reasons to kill her client?

And why not ask the government why 10,000 armed soldiers were used to apply martial law in Boston for one full day? What he Hell was that about?

This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

What stinks is tsarnaevs drawers, by the time it is \"put down.\" They will smell...like $hit!

True story.

Your tin foil hat is on a bit too snugly methinks.

The reason for the death penalty is that it pleases the people.

The world isn't a better place whether he rots in prison or dies in a number of years. People take pleasure in watching other people suffer in this way, and the fact that he's done awful things is the justification for the bloodlust.

Eventually nations become evolved and civilised and do away with such things, but until then, executions are just another way of keeping the populace happy and entertained.

When a rabid dog bites it has to be put down.

The people itching for the death penalty have a little bit more in common with the terrorists than those who don't. You whiny derp.

To be fair, I don't think that anyone with at least half a brain can honestly argue that this was a jury of his peers. At least call it what it is - a jury of citizens.
