I kept thinking using Timothy McVeigh as a federal death sentence case example is wrong.

There were very strong incentives for the gubmint to hush up the case. They don’t want him lingering for decades and more people digging into gubmint investigations.

For this Tsarnaev guy, I don’t know. Gubmint know he’s moooooslem, his cell treatment would be very different from McVeigh’s.

McVeigh had several agenda items he wanted to exploit the Federal Courts for. When it became clear he was not going to be permitted to have his dog and pony show, he dropped his appeals. He was executed within five months of his doing so; had he not voluntarily dropped his appeals, considering the FBI/US Attorneys' mishandling of evidence he might still be alive today. That would be a shame.

McVeigh at least didn’t hide behind the system. He forewent his appeals and took the needle. This Tsarnev biotech will squeal like a pig if he doesn’t get halal meals and a manicure every Tuesday. And he’ll waste millions of taxpayer bucks while he’s wasting oxygen.

I would advise any of his contemporaries at the Razor Wire Resort that he is a high-value target.
