Boston Marathon bomber Tsarnaev found guilty of all charges


Recommended Posts

The penalty phase of jury deliberations starts next week and Tsarnaev is eligible. If the jury returns a death sentence Federal judges rarely deny it .

The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 bans successive habeas corpus petitions for those under federal terrorism death sentences, so if sentenced to death his route of appeals will be far shorter than in state death penalty cases.

Most recent Federal death sentences have been carried out by lethal injection.

Boston Marathon bomber Tsarnaev found guilty of all charges

BOSTON (Reuters) - A jury on Wednesday found Dzokhar Tsarnaev guilty of killing three people and injuring 264 in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, as well as fatally shooting a police officer four days later.

Tsarnaev, 21, was found guilty of all 30 counts against him, with 17 of the charges carrying the death penalty. The same U.S. District Court jury will now decide whether to sentence him to death or life in prison without possibility of parole.

Tsarnaev silently looked down, occasionally fidgeting, as the lengthy verdict was read. The courtroom was packed with survivors of the attack, the parents of 8-year-old Martin Richard, the youngest fatality, and law enforcement officials, including former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.

Jurors spent just over 11 hours evaluating Tsarnaev

oh good, killing him will make everything right and better.

Well that or, insult to injury, paying for his life in prison with your tax dollars.

Well, absolutely no one to blame for that but himself. He's 21 years old, the defence that he was doing so because of his brother was never going to work.

 

It wasn't to get him off / found not guilty, it was to try and soften the sentence to try and avoid the death penalty.

Oh sure. But that doesn't change my statement. At 21 years old (or 19 years old when he committed the crime?) he was most likely well aware that he wasn't going to survive. Either K.I.A. or via the death penalty, he will have understood that.

He wouldn't be sucking air, having human contact, enjoying his meals, reading, or otherwise enjoying life to the degree prison allows. All good IMO.

 

 

Being stuck in prison for the rest of his life is worse than being dead. 

 

even then, revenge killing just to save money... yeah, good... 

 

Killing Breivik wouldn't make anyones life better, it wouldn't solve any problems and he certainly isn't enjoying prison life, not even in comfy norwegian prisons.

Yeah, I remember him bitching about not being able to play the latest games a couple of years back. The inhumanity.

that's one person, and you're assuming a killer and psychopath is talking truth.

 

being locked up and not able to do whatever you want whenever you want breaks you. thinking otherwise and worse thinking you need to hurt and torture or better yet kill people for justice makes you a pretty terrible human being, technically a psychopath as well.

Maybe they should also "print" information about all the other things he's complained about instead of just the one thing they could sell papers and page views with out in the world.

So don't believe one killer/psychopath but believe the other.  Right!   Or as you usually do, are you suggesting your Norwegian psycho is better than ours.

He should have his life terminated. People like this dont deserve to live, plain and simple after what he did.

People on death row cost considerably more than people that's serving life in prison without parole. The whole death row complex and the appeal process cost many times more. You should also never kill a terrorist, especially not when they are backed by extreme muslims since it becomes a part of their agenda. They say that martyrdom is achieved when you either kill yourself for God or when you're punished with death when you do God's work. He should NOT get the death penatly, anyone who says that he should are ignorant about the fact that his supporters will celebrate more if he's killed than if he has to serve life in prison and die in misery. If someone is caught alive, don't kill them. When it comes to non-terrorist acts, the death penatly is still a very bad idea due to much higher cost and the probability that you've caught the wrong person is still too great for capital punishment to be used. Capital punishment should not be used if you don't have the justice system straight out of a utopia. Innocent people are put on death row and put to death when they've plead innocent all along and their innocense is proven too late. Anyone who promotes capital punishment should be put on death row for that very reason, allowing terrorists to get their way or allowing innocent people to actually waste a ton of tax money and then get killed. Capital punishment is STUPID no matter how you put it! Putting someone to death ends their misery, punishment should feel like a punishment until natural death. If the  justice system was fool proof then capital punishment would've been executed within a few days.

 

- Do you want to allow innocent people to be sentenced to death and then die before their innocense is proven? (Innocent until proven guilt, no?)

- Do you want to go along with the terrorists' agenda and allow a terrorist to achieve martyrdom?

 

Lock him away and make people forget about him! THAT'S punishment, it feels deep inside the convict but it's also partially reverseable (you can't give back lost time nor repair psychological damage).

The justice system IS NOT fool proof! Anyone who thinks that it is, is a complete FOOL!

Lock him away and make people forget about him! Make him disappear without a trace, inside a cell somewhere in the middle of a wasteland in the US.

Except for this case is slightly different. It said that in the OP if you had read it. It won't have all the same appeals processes. It'll be much shorter.

Correct. This is a Federal case so the State courts are cut out of the appeals chain. He'd also get just a single habeas corpus hearing instead of judge shopping for near-endless ones.

IIRC his appeal will go to the District Court for the District of Massachusetts, then the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and finally the US Supreme Court which is very likely to dismiss it without a hearing. They don't have to take up every appeal.

You should give him the "best" punishment. Don't please the supporters. Kill him and he reaches martydom and that's ranked high (in goodness) among people like him Don't please the terrorists.

Just put him in prison, and then put him in general population.  He wouldn't last long.

 

 

It's kind of strange that people who oppose the death penalty use the argument that it is cruel when the fact is living the rest of your life in the prison system is probably infinitely worse.

 

There are valid reasons to oppose the death penalty, but the act of execution being cruel isn't really a particularly good one when you consider the horrifying state of most prison systems.

If you kill him, you martyr him and he wins.

 

If you throw him into a toilet of a jail, like Guantanamo Bay (a prison for terrorists) for the rest of his life, he's not going to be enjoying himself at all.

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
