I'm relieved.  How about you?

An eye for and eye... tooth for a tooth.  (But he'll just go to sleep with both his eyes and all his teeth)

I am not relieved, I expected it.  Good thing it was Federal Court (trial).

Tsarnaev was convicted last month of all 30 federal charges against him, 17 of which carried the possibility of the death penalty.  Three spectators died: a 23-year-old woman, a 29-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy, while more than 260 other people were wounded.  Sixteen people lost legs; The younger sister of the 8-year-old boy killed in the Boston Marathon bombings has undergone what her family calls a ‘‘milestone’’ 11th operation on her left leg, lost below the knee.  

If you don't like the D penalty, go urinate into a strong breeze.

[Rosie]

Cant say he is getting what he deserves but its the best we can do.

[john]

" Piece of crap "  may also be used figuratively to describe a particularly loathsome individual.
   

[Rams]

<----- Wasn't on the jury, didn't hear the evidence, did read where he plead guilty to all charges.    Jury made a decision I can live with, he can't.    No problem here.    Had I been on the jury, I might of had more of an opinion.    All I got was what the press wanted me to read and I quit trusting them a couple of elections ago.

[RainMaker]

Put him in a chair, bound, in a bomb-proof room with one of those pressure cooker bombs under it and a 10 foot fuse that will take at least 5 minutes to burn. 

[scooperhsd]

I'm in favor of strapping him down in a quarry, and literally stoning him to death. Those who can operate earthmoving equipment can use larger stones...

Tied down in a red /fire ant  nest with honey dripping off him would also work.

I guess I didn't understand that.  Does that mean he will be executed in some federal facility?  Cause if the leave it up to the liberals of Boston, he'll die a fat, happy inmate, from natural causes.

   Perps can and will do cruel and unusual things to other humans. BUT when it comes time for them to be executed we as "civilized" folks can't do cruel and unusual to truly loathsome individuals. I for one believe it SHOULD be-let the punishment fit the crime. To bad we can't bring him back from death a few times for more suffering. OH-wait-THAT would be cruel and unusual!   RIDE SAFE.

[Jeff K]

 Just drown him in a vat of swine blood... then feed his corpse to Mr. Wu's hogs...

[Yfx4]

The verdict is right as is the sentence. I am sad he is more likely to die of old age than by serving the sentence.

[Davemn]

Dieing is easy. Try living 60+ years in a Supermax.

[Robert]

If he survives the super max then gets out in the general population I doubt he will survive that. I don't think what he did will be looked upon with any favor and may get the same treatment as a child molester. He no doubt will appeal and the parents made a plea but its amazing how valuable life becomes when you have time to think about it and it may be gone.

I would think that for terrorists and acts of terror they should put them slowly in a tree shredder legs first. I would think that a couple examples of this happening would stop the acts in a second. I apologize to those who think this may be to graphic but I read today about a child that is going through leg surgeries after having their leg blown off and some of the other carnage and I am repulsed. Most would have been repulsed to think about this much destruction of life.

Try running that one by the boys at the Eire Pub in Dorchester (pronounced: Daw'chest'a) one Friday evening about them being "the liberals of Boston" and see where that'll get'cha.  I believe that you'd all have a spirited discussion on their views of crime, justice, and punishment.

[Bighead]

He should die the same death that he inflicted.
He will never be executed (no balls in this PC world anymore) he will more likely be killed by inmates.
In my thinking in a case such as this when the sentence is made the perp should die that day no appeals just get it done and save us a ton of money.

that sounds real good rainmaker.  the only problem is we will have to pay for this sun-of-bitch for 15 or 20 years before they even think about killing him .

Massachusetts does not have a death penalty.  He had to be tried for federal crimes in a federal court to get one.  Still had to pick a Boston jury.  Jury was out 14 hours, one wonders if this was deciding each of the 30 charges.... or deciding the death penalty.

Yes he will go to a federal facility, the federal death row for males is in Terre Haute IN.

He could have also been charged (conspiracy, felony murder), but was not (or convicted), for the first bomb, which was planted by his brother, Tamerlan, nor for the shooting death of MIT officer Sean Collier.

I understand the feelings for a tougher execution, but the 8th A. prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.  The peacenicks would have you believe all execution is cruel and unusual.  It is not, either by hanging, gas, electricity, firing squad or chemical.  We now use chemicals, to preserve the death penalty at all.  The peacenicks would also have you believe when the state kills, it diminishes the value of all life and somehow legitimizes all capital crimes (if the state can kill, why is it wrong?).  They are full of crap. 

All death sentence cases should go to the head of the docket (#1) at each level of appeal taken.  Every other appeal pending in that court should await its outcome.  All the way through.  This would not be hard to legislate.

Show me a politician that will sponsor such legislation and I'll donate to his or her next campaign regardless of party.    Not being a smart ass but, I'm not gonna hold my breath.

[art]

Screw the peace nicks I'm a born Bostonian and cruel and unusual punishment is just what he deserves.

Exactly.  It's Federal....how many federal executions have there been in the last 10 to 20 years?  He'll die from old age before all of the appeals and delays run out. 

[3fan4life]

He got the sentence that he deserved, I guess we'll have to wait and see when it gets carried out.

Personally, I think that simply being a member of a terrorist organization should warrant the death penalty.

[da prez]

  You people are cruel and inhuman.
  Tie him to a post ,charge an entry fee to the marathon. With your entry fee , you get a willow switch or some other small devise and as you pass , you get to inflict some pain on the pos. If still alive at the end of the race , there is a repeat. Now this is a humane way to let others know there is justice in our country.  Also , there is no appeal. He is guilty . Let him DIE!

                                        da prez 

[Patrick]

It will be interesting to see if they do do away with him or when they do it. I'm betting it would be far cheaper to throw his ass behind bars for life [without possibility of parole] and forget about him.

After-al, his brother made him do it.   

[MacDragon]

I'm afraid this will be appealed out for quite some time while we pay for him to live, eat and drink...  I was on the fence if he should get the death sentence or life.  One of the reasons I was on the fence is,  now, for those of like mind with his... he's a martyr.  I see others of like mind doing more terrorist acts in the future.  Either way, it's just a shame what the world is coming to.

[Oss]

no problem with the sentence or how it may be carried out

I am always concerned with Labels however

Who is to say WHO the Government will label a Terrorist ?

Someday the Supreme leader or one of his or her evil spawn would label us all with some label and where are we then

I also get a bit nervous with this HATE CRIME distinction

You hurt someone or kill someone you pay what you dealt out I say

[DirtyDan]

and the sad part is it will cost more to execute him then jail him for ever

lawyers

shakesbere was right

You get jailed forever with or without a death sentence, so those costs are the same. They maintain the death house in Terre Haute, might as well give the people some training.

The cost of defending righteous death sentence appeals is small potatoes compared to what they waste daily in Sodom on the Potomac.  They are not hard to defend.  And it's one of the last vestiges of national backbone left.

Exactly.  It's Federal....how many federal executions have there been in the last 10 to 20 years?  He'll die from old age before all of the appeals and delays run out. 

Since the federal death penalty was reinstituted in 1988 the number executed has been three.

Blame falls squarely on a misguided, mismanaged and career socialist DOJ for that one.  The number should be much higher.  Plenty of Federal felons need killing.

Of late, they've been more interested in forcing public swimming pools to instal hydraulic lifts for disabled than prosecuting crime.  That and covering up and assisting executive dept malfeasance and crime.

There have been 3 federal executions since Congress reauthorized it in the late 80's.  I see an immediate need for a 4th, then let's start going through the list on who else "needs killing".

BTW - anybody else read the Dune books by Frank Herbert et. al ?  Anybody who would do crimes like this is not human - they may look human, but they are missing something.

[DIGGER]

I got one question.......

WHY WAS THERE EVEN A TRIAL?
