The vast majority of those cases took place at the state level. Federal prisoners like Tsarnaev are even less likely to be executed. Between 1988, when Congress reinstated the death penalty for federal cases, and 2013, 71 federal defendants were sentenced to death; only three were executed, compared with 10 who had their sentences or convictions overturned on appeal.
(One inmate died on death row, and another had his sentence commuted to life by President Bill Clinton in 2001.) No federal execution has taken place since 2003. Of those still awaiting execution, the typical inmate has already spent a decade on death row, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. (The center’s data is current through 2014.)
Tsarnaev’s case, of course, is atypical in a number of ways. There is little doubt about his guilt; his lawyer admitted at trial that Tsarnaev carried out the bombing, although he technically pleaded not guilty. And his crime was unusually high-profile.
Perhaps the closest parallel in recent decades was the case of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who was executed in 2001, four years after his sentencing. But McVeigh dropped his appeal in 2000; had he not done so, he could have remained on death row for years longer.

Lawyers will take and take from the fools who live there…He should be taken out in a month and hanged in public ….
If israelis won’t execute Muslim terrorists, no way this compromised federal government will.
Chance of execution with a Democrat or Liberal Republican in the Presidency?
ZERO.
Want him dead? Get rid of his enablers.
Giuseppe Zangara was executed only 33 days after killing Anton Cermak.
Then put him in with the general population and see if he can “squeel like a pig!”
Hey Joker!
I guess the joke's on you (don't drop the soap)
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Disregard the concept of “reasonable doubt”. Is there *any* doubt at all that he is guilty of performing the act?
Good. Leave him in his tiny cell and let him out those two hours two days a week.
Hopefully he gets gang raped, then gets his throat cut.
BINGO!! He is Muslim, that will save him from actually being executed.
He’ll be out by 2017 once Obummer pardons him.
I would like for them to hurry up with the lawful sentence passed on him.
He needs a dirt nap.

Assigning in general population in AB wing at Ft. Leavenworth = problem solved
The jury has spoken. Let’s get on with it. Quickly. I’ll pull the handle on the hangman’s platform, shoot one of the rifles in a firing squad, or gladly squeeze the syringe. This piece of scum needs to die soon. Like tomorrow. An example needs to be made.
this i do not get....
” McVeigh dropped his appeal in 2000; had he not done so, he could have remained on death row for years longer.
I’m fine with some vigilantism...I’m aware that isn’t conservative, and I don’t care.
But yes, we are likely talking years before he finally gets the needle.
In the meantime, keep him locked up in a tiny windowless cell with virtually no human interaction other than heavily armed guards handing him a plate of bland food and a dirty glass of warm water.
Let him have his one hour of "exercise" alone in a dark yard - maybe at 2 in the morning.

I’m not a “fan” of it. He deserves a terrible end to his life.
