Here’s the bad news, which Free Republic should pick up on: He will not receive the death penalty. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty. The reason Timothy McVeigh was tried in federal court and received the death penalty was that 8 of his 168 victims were federal officials. Oklahoma never filed capital (murder) charges against McVeigh, preferring to rely upon the federal death penalty and avoid the cost of a trial.
This perp is a US citizen, and will simply be tried for murder in a Massachusetts state court and sentenced to life in prison. End of story.
Sorry for putting out this bad news, but them’s the facts.
