Dzhokar Tsarnaev, one of the two perpetrator behind the Boston Marathon Bombing was found guilty of all thirty charges against him. Seventeen of those charges were capital offenses meaning young terrorist, Tsarnaev meets the requirements for the death penalty. When the trial arrives at the next phase, jurors will be expected to render a decision as to whether or not 21 year old Dzhokhar will be executed for terrorism. Tsarnaev's defense attorney, Judy Clarke, whom is famous for representing a number of notorious criminals and successfully getting them off of the death penalty, has been trying to persuade the jury that Dzhokhar was not worthy of the death penalty because he was only following his older 26 year old brothers lead, whom was killed in a shootout with the police shortly after the Boston Marathon Bombing. According to CNN political analyst, Paul Callan, prosecution will argue that Tsarnaev was acting on behalf of a military organization attacking the United States, fueled by radical Islamist beliefs, and the attack was so carefully planned that civilians would die. The date of the next phase of the trial has not been announced yet.
What happened during the Boston Bombing was truly tragic. I trust the American Justice System and the jury appointed to the case will make the right decision in regards to the State executing Tsarnaev. If the two options are going to prison for the rest of your life, quite possibly in solitary confinement, or execution, the latter would be preferable.
