Death penalty sought for accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
Washington Times ^

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.

Buh, buh, buh, but....didn’t the FBI, CIA, DHS and all them fellas proactively defend us from this heinous attack like they try to imply every time one of them or Obama gets in front of a camera?

Why, then, did they let this setup get to the state we have to execute a poor little Muslim dupe who was only doing what Muslims do best?

Why not send him to Guantanomo and torture him for the names of terrorists in his homeland, and hand that list to Putin for appropriate family therapies?

I don’t want him executed until we learn all the facts
about the case—ie, there was that suspect killed while
being interrogated by the FBI in Florida.

As well, I don’t believe that the two brothers were alone;
I think they had help. So who were their helpers?

Tamerlan's widow, for one.

He is too white for those racist Hollyweird lefties. They only support murders of color.

I trust this Tsarnaev kid, who hasn't been convicted of anything, more than Holder.

No but some fed judge he gave a life time appointment can.

Weapon uses is the child’s own SHOE LACES!
19 years going on 20 on TN death row, DNA proof. He raped, strangled to death with her own shoe laces Nicki Read and then threw her body in the river.

Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child. The INJUSTICE system does not give a flip how much money or grief it causes the victim’s family to have this crap delayed and delayed, and then finally some anti-death penalty justice will void the sentence and give life with parole, which means more grief to fight the suckers. And criminals have MORE rights that the victim or victim’s family!

This is so they can agree to a life sentence after he sings. He’ll outlive me, for certain.

Funny, Federal prosecuters pretty much give the criminals they like carte blanche these days.

I guess the NWO/CIA/DOJ wants no loose ends on this one.

Not sure what the motives are for this former attorney for terrorists. Either he figures that the DP would make a verdict less likely, acquittal more likely... or, perhaps he plans to put the DP itself on trial.
