Joe...I wondered what Mass. law was on the death penalty...even so this guy will spill his guts...and I don’t buy what others are saying that he’ll be lawyered up before they can extract information....there are other ways to work this and you can bet they will work it. He’ll talk...
I suspect too, even if he gets life in prison....I doubt he’ll last long...either way he’s pretty much done with life on the outside.
I’m no lawyer; however, just because someone did not shoot a federal employee doesn’t mean he didn’t commit acts of terrorism. Aren’t there statutes against terrorist activities that have been used to prosecute, and do some of them not carry the possibility of the federal death penalty?
If you start from that premise - and I’m just asking - he could be threatened with a federal death penalty unless he sings. If he sings adequately, the death penalty threat could be withdrawn in favor of life in prison.
