I kinda figured that Massachusetts doesn’t have the death penalty.

Which leads us to a question: Why, if the murders happened in Massachusetts, do the feds have jurisdiction?

And I AM NOT asking because I don’t think he deserves it, but I am asking because of the powers that exist, the Tenth amendment.

They shouldn't. But they do. Unfortunately for the Joker.

Maybe he could do something useful by appealing successfully, thereby saving his miserable Mooselimb life and preserving the Tenth.

He was tried for terrorism. Use of a weapon of mass destruction.

Federal charges.

There was very little doubt this twerp was going to be fried.

Free republic likes to think that everyone in Mass is a Harvard loving, limp waisted, homo. But they forget that years before there was an Alamo there was a Concord, Lexington, and Breeds Hill.
