velu Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Jury Reaches Decision in Boston Bomber Death Penalty Trial BOSTON: The US jury deliberating whether to sentence 21-year-old Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death or life without parole reached a decision on Friday, a court official said. The announcement was made in an email more than 14 hours after the 12-member panel began deliberations, spread across three days. The official said that court would reconvene at 3:00 pm (local time). The same jury took 11 hours to convict him on April 8 on all 30 counts relating to the April 15, 2013 bombings, the murder of a police officer, a carjacking and a shootout while on the run. Three people were killed and 264 others wounded, including 17 who lost limbs, in the twin blasts at the northeastern city's popular marathon, one of the bloodiest assaults in America since the September 11, 2001 attacks. Any death penalty verdict must be unanimous. If even one juror objects, then he will be sentenced to life without release in America's top security prison, ADX Florence, in Colorado. Government prosecutors say Tsarnaev is a remorseless terrorist who deserves to die for inflicting carnage. The defense says he is a "lost kid," manipulated into the "heinous crime" by his radical older brother. Jurors had to complete a 24-page, eight-part verdict form that required each to weigh aggravating and mitigating factors. They can unanimously sentence him to death on 17 convictions that carry the death penalty; sentence him to death only on some counts; sentence him to life unanimously; or conclude they cannot reach a unanimous verdict. The defense disputed little evidence against Tsarnaev, but deployed dozens of witnesses in an attempt to save him from the death penalty by portraying older brother Tamerlan as the real culprit. Tamerlan, 26, was shot dead by police while on the run. Government prosecutors insist that the younger Tsarnaev brother acted of his own free will as an adult. http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/jury-reaches-decision-in-boston-bomber-death-penalty-trial-763471?pfrom=home-lateststories
sachin34357 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 does all american states have death penalty? if death penalty is accepted in america then why are westeners against death penalty in other countries for crimes such as rape, murder, drugs smuggling etc...
Muloghonto Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 does all american states have death penalty? if death penalty is accepted in america then why are westeners against death penalty in other countries for crimes such as rape, murder, drugs smuggling etc... Because westerners are about another 400 million people who are NOT American! America is the biggest, baddest, the most 'everything' of western nations- good and bad, but it is not the majority of the west in terms of cultural, popular or legal practice. And no, not all american states have death penalty. America is a federal republic, where states are allowed extensive autonomy in legal matters.

Gollum Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Great news, hang this piece of ****. 3 families scarred for eternity, 17 innocent people lost their limbs :((, hope this guy's end is painful.
Ranvir Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 That's the danger of Islam. Even people from lands far away from Arabia believe in this 7th century nonsense and want to kill kafirs.
aceofbase Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Great news' date=' hang this piece of ****. 3 families scarred for eternity, 17 innocent people lost their limbs :((, hope this guy's end is painful.[/quote'] It is very unlikely he will be executed any time soon..It would be atleast 15-20 years before he is executed and even after 15 years also its not a certainty...Also hanging is not allowed in federal executions in USA..it would be via a lethal injection ...
Gollum Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Waiting for 15-20 years with the future uncertain is also torture. Good, let him go to sleep every night scared and mentally broken,this murderer needs to feel fear/hopelessness seeing that he is remorseless until now. Lethal injection isn't painful, this wait will be his real punishment.
