Aren't you nice. Violence is only an answer to an idiot.

He has 20 years of appeals. Life w/o parole is a worse sentence than the death penalty.

There's a way in which life in prison is worth than the death penalty. I'd rather he get life in prison and have to live with this for decades to come.

Bye Felicia!

I wish he had gotten life in prison and released him into the general prison population. When the other prisoners learned he killed a child and maimed another, they would have taken care of him in a couple of months.

As someone who spent half of my life in Boston, I didn't expect the death penalty but can't say I was totally surprised due to the emotional nature of the trial, the horror of the bombing, and the effect this has had on Boston to this day. Some of the victims did want the death penalty so I guess there will be mixed emotions.

Also, why does this even make sense. It is banned in Mass and the Feds haven't executed anyone since 2003. I doubt he is going to even be executed soon if ever (feds have converted some death sentences to life).

How ironic.

I was also hoping for life over death, since I am a big opponent of the death penalty. Also agree it is a waste, the whole trial was about the sentence, he could have plead and gotten life and saved the government a ton.

Also the appeals cost a ton of money. What a waste.

yup, i read an article where the Martins, who's son was killed, were opposed to the death penalty because they did not want to have to deal with all the appeals.

Not to mention this will make the kid a martyr.

But I didn't expect a different result, either. New England yanks talk a good game but you seriously don't fuck around with people in Boston.
