As prosecutors argued Wednesday that Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should get the death penalty, they released a video of the young jihadi three months after his attack, looking into the security camera in his cell, primping his hair in the reflection, and then flashing the V sign and then giving his middle finger to his jailers.

.....”The guy was nailed and basically confessed. The trial should have taken one day and he should have gone before a firing squad the next day”......
But that would have been Justice.
I tend to think possible the same family’s that pleaded for this guys life, are the same ones who would abort their own babies.
Please explain this method?
Is this a form of Scaphism?
I don’t have any problem with the death penalty for THIS creep.
I just wondered how he’d be received in slam, since it is supposed to be a breeding ground for anti-American types and for terrorist recruiting.
I guess he wouldn’t have much freedom to mingle in there.
A heavy flat panel with a hole smaller than the head is bolted together at the neck like a huge collar, large enough to prevent the arms from feeding. The prisoner is allowed to walk around if he can bear the weight of the heavy timbers, but cannot lay down to sleep. Term of sentence depends on guards providing food or water.
McVeigh ordered his lawyers to end appeals.
Federal death row also has convicts spending multiple decades and dying of natural causes.
Thanks. I didn’t remember that.
You're being kind.
Since Islam is very big on an eye for an eye.....I'd prefer he be thrown to some prisoners in an isolated cell fully equipped with surgical blades, and let him feel every limb decapitated one by one, from the toes upward...but leave his head.... just as those in Boston lost their body parts.
Who cares? He can be unrepentant all the way to his lethal injection.
Their press release to disown him: “The Covenant .... a public not-for-profit 501c3 organization representing Witches and Wiccans for 37 years, in no way views the actions of Charles Jaynes, as being even remotely related to the religion that we recognize as Wicca. Nor do we, as a religion, have any tenet that mandates a legal change of name for any reason. Though it is a common Wiccan practice to take a second name in accordance with spiritual beliefs, it would be considered very unusual to do so legally; as these names are very personal to the individual and unlikely to be shared outside of a select few.”
But the PC figure the firing squad is so primitive and out of date. But I agree, firing squad does the job quite well. Breaks the heart (literally).
McVeigh wanted to die to be a martyr for his cause. He ordered and refused appeals, he pretty much asked to be executed ASAP. That’s why he wasn’t on Death Row for all that long, relatively speaking.
“But even if Tsarnev gets the death penalty, could he still stay alive for years? I would imagine if he was tried in state court, he could be on death row for years — such as in Pennsylvania which hasn’t executed anyone since the 1990s. Federal may be different. I remember the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, was put down fairly quickly.”

Yes, he could say alive for years. He has to go through the appeals process which tends to take a couple of years. At the federal level, the process isn’t as lengthy as it is at the state level, but anybody on death row has to go through it.
Even after loosing all appeals, it can still take years for the execution to take place. Much depends on the POTUS position on executions. Currently, there’s a hold on Federal executions.
Our family has been waiting 11 years for the Federal executions of two men who brutally murdered at least two, and attempted to murder several others after a 6 state, 17 day, crime spree. Each received 2 death penalties in addition to life sentences, and a host of aggravated crime sentences.
One of the victims was found in part, the other still hasn’t been found. Many of the survivors of the experience suffer from PTSD.
We thought going into this whole thing, that the McVeigh execution would be an example of federal executions in general. Federal executions don’t usually take as long as those at the state level.
Speaking from experience, the longer it takes to serve justice, the longer the victims have the crime in their minds and hearts so that when it does take place it has two effects. One is to re-open the wounds that are trying to heal, and the other is the relief that it’s all finally over, completely. Until then, you can’t really put it away fully and you’re stuck with it in your day to day life.
It’s sort of like having to re-break your broken bone so it can be reset to heal...except that the re-setting doesn’t work well.
So yes, it can take multiple years for the sentence to be carried out.
I've read some horse manure about how much cheaper it is to keep a prisoner alive than to execute him. How can keeping a condemned prisoner alive for more than 40 years cost less than a bullet or an injection?
There might be a kernel of truth in that. Consider all the lawyer fees, and all the courtroom costs, for the years and years of appeals before the execution.
It's obviously a flawed argument. The lib's demand the years and years of appeals, then they complain about the cost of it all.
