The prosecutor and the Governor will be torn apart if they accept a plea bargain.  At least if it goes to trial they can blame him getting a lesser sentence on Cambridgeon liberals.
PDH!

I changed my mind. Him and Tom Brady strapped together and then dropped from 200000 feet. With one of those parachutes filled with silverware.

The only sensible solution is that he be hanged by the neck until dead.

QuoteDzhokhar Tsarnaev Guilty on All Counts; Jury Will Now Consider Death Penalty

By Ben Mathis-Lilley

After 11 hours of deliberations, a Massachusetts jury has found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty on all 30 of the 30 federal charges against him relating to the bombing of the 2013 Boston Marathon, including all 17 counts that carry the death penalty. The same jury will now decide whether Tsarnaev should be executed after hearing testimony in a new trial phase that is likely to begin next week.

Tsarnaev's attorneys admitted immediately during the trial that he had helped carry out the marathon bombing, which killed three people. But the defense argued that Dzhokhar's brother, Tamerlan (who was killed while attempting, along with Dzhokhar, to evade capture), was more responsible for planning and carrying out their crimes, which seem to have been motivated by Islamic jihadi ideology.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will also be prosecuted in state court for the murder of MIT police officer Sean Collier three days after the bombing.

Nice, good to hear, well deserved. No surprise as the defense conceded that he was part of the attack. They were trying to avoid the death penalty by trying to say the older brother was the manipulator, but with the guilty on all 30 charges I assume that defense didn't fly very well with the jury. So maybe it also gives more impetus to the jury going with the DP.

I'm fairly confident that he will get the death penalty.  He has never shown remorse or any indication that he feels he did wrong, and he did, after all, help kill a cop and, on his own, killed his brother.

I'd love for it to turn out that killing his brother was the straw that broke the camel's back and resulted in the DP.

As much as I am against the death penalty in principle, there's hardly doubt about guilt or complicity in this case.

Hang him high.
I wish you could do that with Behring Breivik too.

Lock him in a SuperMax. ADX Florence is the place for him. He can spend 23 hours a day in his cell trying get his hair all poofy.
