Jury sentences Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death for marathon attack
Boston Herald ^ | May 15 2015 | Laurel J. Sweet, Joe Dwinell and Owen Boss

Posted on 05/15/2015 4:17:29 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

A jury's ruling today to sentence marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death is "justice" and a warning Boston "will not tolerate terrorism," survivors and police said after the verdict.

"This is nothing to celebrate. This is justice," said survivor Michael Ward. "He wanted to go to hell and he's going to get there early."

The verdict against Tsarnaev, who'll turn 22 in July, was announced by U.S. District Court Judge George A. O'Toole Jr.'s courtroom clerk Paul Lyness. Tsarnaev showed no emotion as the verdict was read.

Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost a third of her left leg in the bombing, told the Herald she's "happy with the verdict."

"My heart goes out to everyone in the survivor community and to the victims' families," she added. "It's still a lot to process right now."

Only three of the 12 jurors bought into the defense argument that Tsarnaev was influenced by his older brother Tamerlan. The jurors unanimously agreed that Tsarnaev showed no remorse for the marathon attack and its aftermath that killed four young people, maimed 17 and injured hundreds.

The jurors unanimously voted to put him to death for the week of terror.

He’ll die of old age, illness, be traded for a hostage or get pardoned.

Good, but the death penalty has become a joke. All the liberals in Boston will be coming to his aid, defending him and pleading for him to be pardoned.

There will be dozens of gooey eyed young girls offering to marry the stooge before his first year in stoney lonesome has been complete.

30 years before any execution if there ever is one.

This is the state of our immorality. This is essentially a show trial with a faux death penalty. It’s a life sentence for killing.

Send him to North Korea so they can execute him with an anti-aircraft missile.

Only he was convicted in Federal court. He's going to Federal Death Row in Terra Haute.

A Boston Globe poll published last month showed that fewer than 20 percent of state residents favored death for Tsarnaev, down from 33 percent in September 2013.

Poor somebitch, what are the odds? Only one in five Massholes supports the death penalty for him, and he goes 0 for 12. (Actually, about one in four billion.)
