LOL-- USA Today posts pre-written article about Boston bombing sentence....
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/05/14/boston-marathon-bombing-sentence/27336839/
BOSTON — The jury has ruled: a
LIFE IN PRISON/DEATH
sentence for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
After (NUMBER) hours OR DAYS of deliberations, the federal jury delivered its verdict, capping a (NUMBER)-day trial and closing one of the most painful chapters in Boston's history.
The judgment came from the same group of seven women and five men who found Tsarnaev guilty on all 30 counts related to the April 15, 2013, bomb attacks and four-day manhunt. The jury found him responsible for killing four people, seriously maiming 17 and injuring hundreds more.
In the end, it all came down to one question: Should Tsarnaev be put to death or spend the rest of his life in a federal prison with no possibility of parole?
In reaching their verdict, the jurors weighed 12 aggravating factors against 21 mitigating factors. They were charged to consider the suffering Tsarnaev caused, his intent, his character and his relationships, among other things. The panel decided LIFE IN PRISON / DEATH was the penalty best suited not only to the crimes but also to the man who committed them.
