Boston Bombing: Tsarnaev Trial Thread

[ARRAY]

that's something I don't understand, he has been tried and sentenced, why can't justice be swift?

 

[printcraft]

In before...... "America is uncivilized for giving him death."

I can't wait..... warm up the facepalm thread.

Maybe it was just you that thought he was cute...

Just me and Rolling Stone apparently.

I have horrible taste in men anywho.

This should have been the Rolling Stone cover boy:

AG Loretta Lynch: "the ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime"

Glad to hear it. I only wish he could be put to death sooner.

Never thought a Massachusetts jury would kill him.

I had predicted a death sentence to a few people, but watching them go through the mitigators and seeing 1 juror (at least) agree with each one.... well, I thought there'd be a holdout.

Our system is set up to afford a thorough appeal.

That is A Good Thing.

Ironic because they left a horrible taste in you?

There are few things more hated on INGO than appealing a conviction.

Tim McVeigh, the OKC Bomber that got the Death Penalty, went to his death in less than five years. I pray that this scum-bucket goes at least as fast.

And apparently in the same facility

Uhh...

CNN: As Tsarnaev led away, he smiles wryly...his index fingers are extended at waist level. It was like a gunslinger's two-pistol salute


Also, here's a hot take:

Tsarnaev is sentenced to be murdered. This is sad and wrong, like all executions. We need #deathpenalty abolition NOW.

He basically volunteered after his direct appeal. As I recall, he waived half of his appeals and volunteered for execution.

I'm sure his injections will be on a daily basis.

Maybe it was just you that thought he was cute...

These two posts seem related somehow.

 

[KG1]

Can he be executed DPRK style?

 

[foxxie02]

So, is this going to make us a terrorist target, or just translate to range time?

True on McVeigh, however Juan Garza was executed at Terre Haute around 8 days later and Garza tried appealing his to the end and he was on Death Row for only a couple more years than McVeigh. Louis Jones was executed at Terre Haute in 2003 and gave up his appeals after a point however from the time of his arrest (1995) to his execution (2003) was 8 years. There have been sever inmates at Terre Haute that have had dates set but then cancelled because of a stay/appeal etc. Even had a date for a Military Death Row inmate from Leavenworth that was stayed.

While courts do play a major role the biggest hurdle to Federal Executions the last few years is now gone....Eric Holder

Can't we just stone him?

With rocks, I mean. I know you guys better than that.

 

[Cerberus]

We need to bring back public hanging.
