Elizabeth Warren does not support the death penalty for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

 Earlier this week Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty in the Boston Marathon bombing and he could face the death penalty. One of the Senators from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, has come out against the death penalty for the man convicted in this horrific terrorist attack.

  Here is what she said:

“My heart goes out to the families here, but I don’t support the death penalty. I think that he should spend his life in jail, no possibility of parole. He should die in prison”

  She claims that if Dzhokhar Tsarnaev receives the death penalty he will be part of an ongoing story and because of this the families will not be able to heal because he will remain in the news:

“the alternative to the death penalty is not as if you turn this guy free. The point is that he stays in prison, he dies in prison, he’s put away. He’s not a danger to anyone else, and the — and he’s not a part of an ongoing story. He’s not — he’s not someone who tries to then — or is able to keep sucking up a lot of energy and a lot of attention. The families need their chance to heal, to move on beyond this, and I think that’s what really matters most.”

  In a way I can understand what she is saying but at the same time I do not see how this is a factor because as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev makes his way through the appeals process he is sure to be an ongoing story. Does she really believe the media will ignore the appeals process if he does not receive the death penalty? There will be appeals no matter what the sentence is therefore that excuse falls flat here at America’s Watchtower.
