That’s o.k. They can collect later when its appealed as a mistrial.

The only thing more disgusting than the bomber are the maggot attorneys defending him.

THis is almost a replay of the Boston Massacre of Revolutionary Days but with a far more callow and ignorant populace.

Joker will be prosecuted for Federal crimes relating to the possession of the explosive devices. He can still be tried separately on State statutes for the murder of the MIT officer and the shooting of the transit officer. That being said, Massachusetts could defer any prosecution until after the Feds are done.

Oh brother. It is a federal trial because Mass does not have the death penalty.
