Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, accused of orchestrating last year’s Boston Marathon bombing along with his brother Tamerlan, the Justice Department announced Thursday.

“After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant’s counsel, I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a statement. “The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision.”

Authorities say the Tsarnaev brothers plotted the backpack bomb attack that killed three people and injured hundreds of others on April 15.

“So who were their helpers?”

Think about it. Just the first thing that jumps into your head. Thats who it was.

All for show.

This admin has protected Major Nidal Hassan for how many years?. The Boston bombers are muslims. Hassan is a muslim. The president is a muslim sympathizer.

Nothing will happen to him.

>> So...how long until this defendant’s fate becomes a cause celebre for the Hollywierd lefties?

Sentence him to death on the 7th abortion henceforth.

GOOD! If he can dish it out, he to take it.

Just give him a good dose of truth serum and let him spill his guts.

He’ll get “fast-tracked” just like McVeigh.
Odd how Tim McVeigh's appeals process and ultimate death sentence was fast-tracked. And where were all the anti-DP activists? Other than a dozen or so Jesuits outside the prison on the day he was executed doing a rather lackluster rendition of Jesus carrying the Cross. Same thing with Lawrence Brewer, executed for lynching James Bird. One of his cohorts, John King is still on death row while his appeals play out. Since Bill Ayers, during the debate with D'nesh D'Souza considers capitol punishment so repugnant perhaps he could intervene on King's behalf? (crickets chirping)

I think they had help. So who were their helpers?

The Saudi prince who was arrested and whisked away - he was one! Boy, they got him out of the country fast. The prince and his fellow Saudis want the kid dead before he gives out any information.

BTW what about Speed Bump's wife? She's innocent?

She assisted in making the bombs.

Credit to Howie Carr for that one. I know he used it frequently on his show.

They had better get him dead as soon as possible .... say like the Oklahoma City bomber .... before any investigation can uncover what really went on.
