Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be tried in civilian court, not military tribunal

He should try and plead it down to leaving the scene of an accident.

 

First offense, right?

 

If citizenship rights can be taken without due process, then citizenship is a useless legal concept.

 

The media already are working on getting the acquittal by continually showing the picture of him from when he was an innocent-looking 14- or 15-year-old. Reminds me a lot of the Travon Martin case and the pictures they chose to run of both Travon and Zimmerman.

That said, he's a citizen and this is a criminal case. I have no problem with that, as long as the charges remain federal and the death penalty is on the table.

 

CO makes sense. I am looking at it differently, I guess. What if this guy was working in concert with a foreign government or entity? I guess that can't be proven without a trial.

FYI, taking citizenship has been done before.

Bloodlust isn't confined to terrorists.

 

Let's hope he gets a fair trial so when it's over we can take him out back and hang him.

 

Tony, I find it hard to understand how you can square your desire to see this charged as a federal offense with your politics.

 

I don't see that. Even Starman who is a good representative of the liberal media
wanted to stick jumper cables on him to make him talk.

 

As far as we know.

 

Looks like it was key that Knauer was a Nazi BEFORE and AT THE TIME he took the oath.

 

I say deferred prosecution agreement.
