The real reason Tsarnaev is being tried in federal court is because [the feds] want the surviving Boston Marathon bomber to die. Capital punishment has been outlawed in Massachusetts since 1984, when the state’s Supreme Judicial Court declared the practice unconstitutional in Commonwealth v. Colon-Cruz. Moreover, a recent WBUR poll showed that an overwhelming majority — 62 percent — of surveyed Bostonians believe Tsarnaev should not receive the death penalty. The Feds are not out for justice, they’re out for blood — and their zealous pursuit of the death penalty in this case is not only sadistic, but is also inconsistent with the desires of the population most victimized by Tsarnaev’s ghastly actions.
