BOSTON – Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will ask a judge to discuss the timeline and procedure for prosecutors to decide whether to seek the death penalty.

A joint status report filed in court says the defense wants the court to address "the death penalty protocol" in federal court on Monday.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will ultimately make the decision about whether to seek the federal death penalty, but the U.S. attorney's office in Boston will make a recommendation. Tsarnaev's attorneys also have the right to make the case against the death penalty.

Obama and Holder consider the case...

“On the one hand, he’s a Muslim, and we must do everything to mitigate his situation...,”

“..but on the other hand, the public clearly thinks he deserves to die, although maybe they’ll put up with life in prison if we play the meme that it’s worse than death...”

“...but then again, he’s a Chechen, he’s not a brother....”

What to do?
