Millions wasted on what any reasonable human being could have concluded. Hell even his lawyer was saying he was guilty...please just don't kill the boy.

Yeah I'm really curious why they wouldn't accept a guilty plea in exchange for taking the death penalty off the table, unless the kid really wanted to be as much of a pain in the ass as he could.

i know i know...

this is all about not dying.

if he plead "guilty" then there was pretty much ONLY the death penalty...

now it is:

Death or life in prison until he dies.

up through charge 19 guilty...

That's a good assumption right? He wants to be a martyr, so let him.

honestly, i don't think it was even offered. i haven't followed closely.

now comes sentencing phase. which will take another few weeks...

if it was me, guilty, time to die. life in prison = terrorist dream oppurtunity ...kidnap servicemen, demand his release in exchange...if he is dead, not gonna happen.

I'm almost positive it wasn't considering the whole purpose of the defense in this trial was to avoid the death penalty.

Imo death penalty, why waste who knows how many dollars giving the guy a place to live and be healthy.

There was a crowd around the TVs at work today. I hope he gets life just so he can get fucked in the ass.

Death Penalties are typically more expensive than life sentences although this particular high-profile one might be fast tracked and be cheaper.
Exactly. This is why I thought they might offer him a plea for life without possibility of parole just to save the trouble of a trial and all the legal wrangling that goes on in the years leading up to an execution.

He won't live in jail long enough to be executed, imo
You're on drugs if you think they'll drop this dude in gen pop.

If that was the case the death penalty wouldn't exist because they'd do that for every criminal with the death penalty on the table.




Also, the death penalty shouldn't exist.
