Or Secretary of State.

Life in prison with out parole is a cop out in my opinion. It's a coward's sentence. Think about it, you're still taking away their life, you're just doing it more slowly. They don't have the guts to take responsibility for the act.

In WWII there were six German spies that came into the US. They were captured here in the US before they could do any damage. FDR had all six of them taken out and shot.

Have we really come so far down this road to where we simply don't have guts to impose real justice where is warranted?

I'm in shock that there is a group of US citizens that couldn't agree to string this guy up...I'm truly in shock.

I certainly wouldn't have a problem sentencing him to death. Twice. And I'll pull the switch, level, or trigger if the rest the country is squeamish to do it. Everyone else can go cry in the corner with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the spineless libs.

Sorry for the rant... I'm just deeply disappointed by this.

Don't be sorry. Most of us feel the same way. Imo, the jury was afraid to impose the death sentence, because they felt he wanted it to achieve martyr status. They didn't want to give that to him. Make sense? Dealing with people stuck in a prehistoric age is just a pain in the ass.
