Dzhokhar Tsarnaev found guilty on all 30 counts in Boston Marathon bombing

By my math, that works out to (72 x 180 =) 12,960 virgins. He's going to be busy...

A 2013 Boston Globe poll found 57 percent of Boston residents favor a life sentence for Tsarnaev, compared with 33 percent who said he should get death. Just short of 2-1.

It's generous of you homesick Iranians to put up with these subversive Boston types and their limp-wristed attitudes.

And with names like Bob, Jim, Fred, Bubba, Nick, Al, Steve......

Where are the DPRK's stats? they should have a few hundred thousand a year.

And here I thought you posted a picture of a shoe ad.

Accept your feelings. You wish you lived in a country that respected life as little as Iran does. As China does. As North Korea does. Accept your feelings, don't fight them.

You're stuck in a nation that respects human life, and has promised not to inflict cruel and unusual punishments like 17th century England did.

What a bummer for you to be American.

I don't care about the lives of child killers.

Blowing up an 8 year old boy would be considered cruel and unusual punishment for the parents, whose child would never get a chance to reach his potential.

I've got serious problems with the Death Penalty.

1. Sometimes we execute the wrong person.
2. Sometimes The State botches the execution.
3. Most capital cases take so long and cost so much that we're not getting an effective kill rate for our execution bucks.
4. If the victim was opposed to capital punishment, I don't think the state should kill his murderer.
5. It should only apply to murder and heinous crimes...not drawing cartoons of a deity or objecting to a political view or any of many other reasons some think are justification to kill.

But the fact of the matter is that the majority of Americans support Capital Punishment and have pretty much since the founding. We are a democracy after all.

I think most objections to the Death Penalty are on moral grounds, but still many are opposed based on #1 and #3 above. If we could fix some of these issues I bet the number in favor would jump up into the 70 to 80% range. So how do we do that?

1. A new burden of proof. Guilty beyond all doubt. Maybe only 10% of the cases would meet that burden. No purely circumstantial cases and a number of other criteria that guarantees the wrong man is never executed.
2. When someone is convicted beyond all doubt and sentenced to death, the sentence must be carried out within a short timeframe...like less than 6 months.

There are fixes to all of the other items too. That doesn't fix the moral objections that some have to the Death Penalty, but as long as we have it shouldn't we make sure we're killing the right people for the right reasons?.....then make it fast and cheap and painless.

I was in Atlanta when Ray lewis was in a limo in Buckhead full of guys who killed a man. They were celebrating the Super Bowl when it was there. He was questioned but never convicted of anything. Then never did establish who from that limo did it although they know one of them did. So I'm not holding my breath for Hernandez conviction either.
