Dzhokhar Tsaraev harmed the citizens of Massachusetts more than anyone in any other part of the country.
Don't dignify him with a Federal prosecution under a Terrorism law.
Let Massachusetts charge him with four counts of clearly premeditated cold-blooded murder.
Try him in Suffolk and Middlesex counties, with a jury of his peers, the citizens of Boston and Cambridge.
If convicted, the judge would likely sentence him to multiple life-without-parole sentences, to be served consecutively.
Some want the federal prosecution for the death penalty.
NO. He is just a common murderer.
Don't give him the joy of thinking during his last days that he'll soon be going to martyr's heaven to meet his 72 virgins.
Make him sit in Walpole prison for the rest of his life and think about his crime.
